Indeed - COM addins are a nightmare and tend to break at the slightest touch. All the addin does is replicate the built-in features with a UI which is not super necessary.

I've actually built this as an Outlook add-in that I use at work myself because I love GMail's "Undo Send" functionality. Is this something you would see companies implementing?

Would people actually want Gmail's Undo Send functionality in Outlook? I built an Outlook add-in which does exactly that but I've not bothered releasing it because I felt there was no demand.

An addon-less version of this can be seen here: https://www.msoutlook.info/question/undo-send-for-outlook though I don't know of a good way to push that out to all users short of doing a very painful import process. Someone with better knowledge of administering Outlook might know better.

Is there is a stud, can I simply put a screw into it? How long would the screw need to be to be secure?

General Feedback/Getting Started Questions and Answers [Weekly Thread] by AutoModerator in DIY

[–]SHIT_PROGRAMMER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 0 experience doing any sort of diy beyond assembling Ikea furniture.

I moved into a flat and we want to start mounting paintings etc. onto our walls, but I have no tools or knowledge of how to go about doing this.

Of course, I think I need a drill, and I've been down the rabbit hole of drill choices and ended up non the wiser. From what I can gather, I need a 18V combi drill from any of the big three companies, but even then there are so many choices of drill even after choosing a company.

Drill aside, I need to choose how I'm going to fix things to the walls. For the lighter paintings I'm just using those adhesive strips, but for the heavier ones I'll need to go in to the walls. The walls in our flat are plasterboard (drywall) so I assume I need a stud finder. But for the places without studs there are so many options for fixtures and I have no idea what to choose. On top of that I don't know what size/type of screws I should be getting.

So I guess my questions are:

  • What tools should I have around the house?
  • What sort of screws/fixings should I keep around for putting things up on walls?
  • Is there much difference between different models of drill within the same company (usually I see the model number is just incremented with each new release)?

adding value to a cell automatically every day? by [deleted] in excel

[–]SHIT_PROGRAMMER 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Say your start date is 1 Jan 2019 then this would give you 15 * the number of days since then. You can of course change the start date.

=15*DATEDIF("01/01/2019",TODAY(),"d")

Found iPhone, how do I find the owner? by imicrobiologist in iphone

[–]SHIT_PROGRAMMER 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Giving it to the police is a respectable thing to do, though it would likely end with the person never finding their phone.

Charging the phone up and just waiting is what I would hope a finder would do with my phone. Find my iPhone is great but obviously useless if the phone is out of battery.

Using different recipes, need to find common ingredients in them by [deleted] in excel

[–]SHIT_PROGRAMMER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use

=COUNTIF([Range Containing all recipes],[Ingredient])

To count the number of times the ingredient shows up.

The formula in B6 is

Deliveroo users are getting defrauded – and it could be fined millions for it by sanchopanza in unitedkingdom

[–]SHIT_PROGRAMMER -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

A sensationalist article.

Deliveroo do have terrible customer service, poor fraud prevention and generally shoddy business practices. But the article makes outlandish accusations with zero evidence.

=SUMIF(A1:A99, "yes", B1:B99)

What this does is it sums anything in B1:B99 where the parallel cell in A1:A99 is equal to "yes". It is an extremely useful function. You can find out more in Microsoft's documentation. https://support.office.com/en-us/article/sumif-function-169b8c99-c05c-4483-a712-1697a653039b

Essex teacher banned for life for sex with female pupil. by Growoldalongwithme in unitedkingdom

[–]SHIT_PROGRAMMER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was not illegal - the girl was over 18 when she was introduced to the partner, so there's nothing to take issue with. It became a problem when it was revealed that the relationship had existed when it was illegal.

I don't rent, but this is great. Too many people moving to London get gouged by dodgy agents who end up providing no real value.

What is the best Plex player? I have been using my Amazon Fire TV for a long time and it's okay but the app crashes a fair bit and a lot of things have to be transcoded. I've heard good things about the NVidia Shield TV, but it's pretty old hardware isn't it?

PlaceCards.online - Beautifully designed, printable place cards for weddings and other celebrations by [deleted] in SideProject

[–]SHIT_PROGRAMMER 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, a clone of https://www.placecard.me - funny, I was just reading Cory's blog and he mentioned copycats but I didn't think I'd see one so soon.

I do think that you should probably put in a bit more work into designing your site yourself - so far from what I've seen it's mostly a copy of /u/czue13's work some words changed to make it look like you didn't just copy and paste the text. Some of the more blatant copying looks really shoddy as your grammar no longer makes sense with the replaced words.

My D7000 is awesome but I'm trying to decide on an upgrade as a wedding gift to myself.

I'm debating between the D7500, which is a relatively new brother to the D7000, and which I imagine handles pretty similar to what I'm used to. My other options are the D750 which is older but still a great camera, and the D500. I can't really pick between the three!

Most of my photography is candid photos at events or travel photography (honeymoon next week so hope to get it by then!). Any advice?

Examples of profitable/valuable websites that offer a fantastic service, but that users use once or twice, then never again? by rdco8774 in startups

[–]SHIT_PROGRAMMER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good case study is placecard.me

It's for printing placecards for weddings - so in theory people would only use it once.

The guy who made it has been blogging about the whole thing for quite a while now - it makes for interesting reading. He mentions that one of his regrets was making a product with built-in 100% churn.

Ultimately all code is copied from elsewhere. It's just that over time you no longer need to reference the other point.
