Living Room / Re: DonationCoder Down?
« Last post by anandcoral on February 07, 2017, 03:38 AM »
I use https://uptimerobot.com/ to get down information of important websites including DC  :)

It emailed me when DC was down and also when up,
"The monitor donationcoder.com (https://www.donationcoder.com/) is back UP (HTTP 200 - OK) (It was down for 16 hours, 46 minutes and 37 seconds)."

Living Room / AI Assistant is just selling gimmick
« Last post by anandcoral on February 03, 2017, 05:20 AM »
Every big software house is making an AI Assistant; Siri, Alexa, Cortana, Google Assistant etc.  As I understand, they answer or try to answer your queries. One has to speak and not type, his / her queries. So far so good.

Since most people walk with mobiles now, why I am not hearing them shouting or even whispering to their mobiles or laptops on a table ?  :huh:

Everybody is typing with thumbs or fingers but none is talking. Everybody is searching Google, Bing etc. but none is asking for it. So I am wondering if all the hullabulla around these so called AI assistant is just selling gimmick and have no practical use !

I do not find myself comfortable in talking to a 'software' and maybe true for the rest.

General Software Discussion / Re: AutoHotKey vs AutoIT - why choose one over the other?
« Last post by anandcoral on January 09, 2017, 10:59 AM »
Most of the my apps are made in Autohotkey and few in AutoIt.

I look for the feature of the app which I am going to develop and take up which I find "easier" for me. Nothing personal, just similar done previously or have a similar sample etc. makes my preference.

If you feel at home in AutoIt, it is OK. If you need to code some feature which you can not find in AutoIt, then you may have to look around.

Anand

Buy an alarm clock (physical) with most irritable and loud sound. Set time. Keep it as far as possible from you.

You will run to stop it before your wife gets up to get YOU.  :)

This is the best hardware solution IMHO. No software solution can match it. Your fat will vanish soon.

Can this app be restricted/tailored to be used only for any particular program?
-kilele (January 05, 2017, 07:09 AM)
Yes. That is the basic idea. I had to rush this app as I was unable to find spare time and 31 dec was closing fast. I haven't got time to complete the website. I will eventually complete the app as I mentioned in planned features.

Thanks for your appreciation, kilele.

Living Room / Re: NASA’s Curiosity rover finds more evidence that Mars was once habitable
« Last post by anandcoral on December 22, 2016, 04:22 AM »
If we were living on Mars, and made all the technological advances and such..then moved to Earth...where are all the habitats and such? Why would we move to Earth but not bring any of that knowledge/tech?  :tellme:
-Stephen66515 (December 21, 2016, 12:46 PM)

Right. It did come to my mind. I found the answer in "Pyramid of Egypt". There are more around the Earth which we still can not explain with our knowledge till now. So maybe we did bring the knowledge/tech.

But why we lost them ? To get this answer I take myself to Mars as of now.

If I go to Mars today, I will carry my Phone, Laptop, foods, oxygen (maybe) etc. So I am carrying some thing to survive and latest technology. I need electricity but I can not carry electric plant, which is so obvious here.

Anyway when I reach Mars, I must have this connection from Earth to survive and also have the latest gadgets running. By any means, if I get cut off. I will only have human power and energy with me to survive. My knowledge and skill. I will have to find ways to get food, shelter etc. to survive. Add to it many other like me and even some couples. We can imagine what will happen as the population grows.

I am not insisting that this happened when we came to Earth. It is just logical with what we are seeing here and what we know till now.

Regards,

Anand

Living Room / NASA’s Curiosity rover finds more evidence that Mars was once habitable
« Last post by anandcoral on December 20, 2016, 04:40 AM »
"But the evidence of this groundwater system potentially extends the period of time when Mars could have been habitable. And that increases the odds that life formed there. "
http://www.theverge....e-crater-mount-sharp

Was it that "we" were living in Mars and made all the latest science technology advances, like today and killed all our natural resources, like nowadays and started looking for another planet to shift, like we are doing now and found Earth habitable.

This looks more likely to me. We destroyed our planet Mars then. Now we are doing same to Earth.

I am so grateful to Mouser and DonationCoder that I can not repay ever.

« Last post by anandcoral on November 29, 2016, 03:59 AM »
But there is a major difference between a "classic style" and a "horribly outdated look". My SpeedCommander uses the classic white-on-blue color theme, but it still looks good. Can you imagine what it could be?
-Tuxman (November 29, 2016, 03:47 AM)
Hmm..so TC needs a "theme" option to dress it up as per users preference. Hope next version allows it or some extension may do it. But the basic should remain the same. I have forgotten that Windows has an Explorer for file management.

Thanks for the "Feedback Hub"

It does not solve my problem but guides to post the problem to MS.

"The Feedback Hub is available for download in the Windows Store, allowing users to provide their valuable feedback about the bugs and problems to the Windows team. The app description reads: Help us make Windows better! Provide feedback about Windows and apps by sharing your suggestions or problems."

Now I know how to tell MS about their problem.

General Software Discussion / Re: win10 whats new
« Last post by anandcoral on November 11, 2016, 12:52 PM »
You see, when we had Win95, we did not expected any "whats new" from MS as we did not update the OS till Win98 was released. At the release MS itself made all the "whats new" news in newspaper, website and tv. Same happened for Win 2000, Win Xp, Win 7 and Win 8. It was all unto us to upgrade or not, but at least we knew what we will get on upgrade. We still have Win Xp with SP1 and we are happy with it.

Now in Win10 it always downloading something and informing "Updates installed", but how many times MS has to update for "Security fix and Critical Error fix" ? Are they always missing these fixes ? Is disabling auto updates only option now ?

Well I understand expecting from so big MS is problem, same as expecting from Google which keep updating Chrome now and then.

Hope they will understand that not all user have free unlimited broadband in their disposal and give us some "list of goodies" we may get if we update, leave the rest to us.

Anand

May be I could clarify myself. I am trying again.

I can read in other people website and blogs, say for example, "Win10 now supports title color etc."

What is the problem with MS not directly mentioning or giving a straightforward webpage with these list. Why someone else have to dig deep and find out and put for the world to see.

Not sure whether you will have tried this already:
-IainB (November 10, 2016, 04:14 AM)

Yes I did it many times but mostly I get "Critical Error" fix list.

I expect something like below, from another program "changes" file,

[Select]
// History

v23.20

  - Brace auto-completion
    * Brace pairs defined in wordfile are auto-closed when opening brace is typed
    * If no braces in wordfile, or if file is not syntax highlighted, "()", "{}", and "[]" are used as defaults
  - String auto-completion
    * Can be disabled for non-highlighted (plain text) files
  - Lightning fast file sorting
    * Sort large files in a fraction of the time of previous versions
    * More efficient memory management when sorting

Is it expecting too much from MS ?

Regards,

Anand
