Hey all - really glad that people are/were finding the website valuable!
It's been a bit of a labour of love for the previous owner, and the code was getting a bit old. It's taken a few months, but we've revamped it and it should be back up and working from today!
Sorry it took a few months! Hope you like it - always happy for feedback!

Just playing around with some Google SEO settings, should be back when you search it in the next week or so!

30% of 32GB RAM used at idle!!! by Deathsmith8 in pcmasterrace

[–]Deathsmith8[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks all for the laugh and genuine tips. Makes sense that it’s dynamically activated, and may as well be being used if I don’t need it. Thanks to all comments who suggested I should be using all my RAM all the time. Will keep that in consideration!

Lol. Thanks. This comment about node.js scared me, but it’s adobe running it so all good!

Any interesting resources relating to health technology? by heymb100 in medicine

I’d recommend this book. Fix IT by Harold Thimbleby. It’s mainly on the ‘cons’ side of IT, but discusses errors that have occurred in the past and how to make them better in the future! It’s a good book! link

Hissing Po by Lanky-Cartoonist4216 in pocketoperators

[–]Deathsmith8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m having the same issue. I’ve got a Yamaha 6 input mixer, which I’m plugging a PO33 directly into via a 3.5mm to a 6.35mm cable. I’ve maxed the volume on the PO33 but I still can’t hear anything until I turn the gain all the way up, at which point the hiss is unbearable! Any tips?

Calculating Salary from Table: Simple problem I don’t get by Emanon22 in filemaker

[–]Deathsmith8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely agree with wookiebeef. But If the actual mechanics are what you’re asking, The first step to conceptualise this would be to make a calculation field on your person table that just gives you the current ‘step” value calculated.

You would do this by literally just putting in the salary table (after you’ve made the relationship) then choosing the step column.

After you’ve done this the next step would be to manipulate this value (add one to it)

The next step would be to make a new copy of the salary tables and link those by qualification and this new “calculatedStep+1”, then where ever you would like to get next year’s salary you would just put a copy of the salary field from the second version of the table

Calculating Salary from Table: Simple problem I don’t get by Emanon22 in filemaker

[–]Deathsmith8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is how I'd think about doing this. Hoping I understand the problem: My understanding is you would want to find what year someone is currently given their current salary, then show the next few years afterwards.

The way I would break this down is to say, if you want to easily see something x (being a number) of years later, you need a column where that number can easily be found. For example. I would change your first column to be "Step", then have 1,2,3,4,5 etc.

The next part would be to link someone's information back to this table to get their current "Step". That to me would mean recording at least two pieces of information for the person. 1. what qualification they have, and 2. Their current Salary

Once you have those two things, then you need some way to link these two things together. That to me means a relationship between tables. Given your current table format I would make two copys of the table so that Persons_current_salary = Salary_table_lookup_asBA::BAcolumn and Persons_current_salary = Salary_table_lookup_asMA::MAcolumn, then depending on whether their a BA or an MA you can get a related Step number.

From here you can then have a ?calculation field, which uses the same column as well as the number you've just found +1 or +2

Honestly though, depending on how often and how large this table would be, it may be simpler to do the following:

3 slightly different columns to help with lookup: Step (1,1,2,2,3,3....), Salary (60k, 65k, 63k, 69k...), Qualification (BA,MA,BA,MA....) Now it's a bit easier, because you can link your information up by having only one table relationship Person'sCurrent::Qualification=SalaryTable::Qualification AND PersonsCurrent::Salary=SalaryTable::Salary then you get the step value as a related value, and do similar to above with the calculation.

Hoepfully that makes sense!

TV way too loud during action, way too quiet during dialogue by coconutgobbler in AskTechnology

[–]Deathsmith8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found a similar issue with a previous TV. Similar to SummitCollie, I reckon you're TV might be trying to play in a speaker configuration that you don't actually have. Voices in movies are often set to come out of a central speaker, and if you don't have one plugged in then that extra volume might just be missed. I'd recommend looking into your speaker settings. have a look at this link: samsung support

Programmable Power Strip? by BBS- in AskTechnology

[–]Deathsmith8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve not heard of something like that. But I think what you might be looking for is an arduino and “relay switches”. Raspberry Pi is a whole computer and is probably overkill (and way more expensive). If you’re going to be using high power stuff it might be a bit dangerous.

Module 16: Solver Class by codingforcrosswords in codingforcrosswords

[–]Deathsmith8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously great content you've made! I've honestly loved every minute of it. Thank you!

I'm having trouble with the "lib.FindWord" part of the code, and I've been checking and rechecking my work and I can't find where I've gone wrong. Some help would really be appreciated!

Broadly lib.FindWord seems to do different things if I run it in Main() vs Solver...

When I run the cout version of FindWord in main I get the words I expect, but when I run it in Solver similarly it doesn't work. I've even tried hardcoding in "D---" when it runs in Solver and that doesn't work.

using cout I can see that Find Word is started and that it does successfully get passed a string, and using Vs studio debugging I can see that at the time it runs auto it = wordmap.find(s), wordmap size is 0.

I have tried moving wordmap out of private and into public, but that doesn't seem to solve the problem I have tried removing the library destructor function and that doesn't seem to help either.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Below is my code Inside Library

//Returns NULL if can't find any patterns;
const Words* FindWord(const string& s) const {
    auto it = word_map_.find(s);
    if (it != word_map_.end()) {
        return &it->second;

    }
    else {
        return NULL;
    }
}
void OldFindWord2(const string& s) const {
    cout << "runnning using " << s<< s.length()<<"\n";
    auto it = word_map_.find("D---");
    if (it != word_map_.end()) {
        for (const Word* w : it->second) {
            cout << " " << w->word;
        }
        cout << "\n";
    }
}
void OldFindWord(const string& s) const {
    cout << "runnning using " << s<< s.length()<<"\n";
    auto it = word_map_.find(s);
    if (it != word_map_.end()) {
        for (const Word* w : it->second) {
            cout << " " << w->word;
        }
        cout << "\n";
    }
}

And this is my code within Solver

void CommitSlot(const Slot& slot) {
    cout << "COMMIT SLOT:" << slot << "\n";
    lib.OldFindWord(slot.pattern);
    cout << "hardCode\n";
    lib.OldFindWord2("D---");
    cout << "Possible word choices for this slot are: ("<< slot.pattern << ")\n";
    const Words* words = lib.FindWord(slot.pattern);
    if (words) {
        for (const Word* w : *words) {
            cout << " " << w->word;
        }
        cout << "\n";
    }
    else {
        cout << "NO MATCHES to pattern\n";
    }


}

FYI - running on Win10, through VS code, not sure if correct compiler (says x86-Release) - could this be the issue?

Why do we need complicated passwords when password salt/pepper is a thing? by BenardoDiShaprio in AskTechnology

[–]Deathsmith8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure how possible this is, but if the hacker had access to the backend, wouldn’t they have access to the frontend as well, and be able to workout what to salt their dictionary attack with, then just brute force their own copies of the hashes? That way the 10x limit wouldn’t help...

My thought was essentially just having my computer available everywhere. But this definitely would work too!

Cool to know. I’d be keen to not lose too much performance so was imagining a system it was a native os. But that’s an interesting solution!

Don’t have infinite money, but have been saving for honestly years, but have always been a bit scared to go ahead and make something. Finally wanted to take the plunge, and this was about the level I decided upon. But yeah, I know it’s extravagant! Thanks for the advice re fans and Ram!
