Developer's Corner / Re: Copy/pasting code and the last line effect

« Last post by anandcoral on December 09, 2015, 02:01 AM »

Happened with me many times. Either the compiler or the run time error points my mistake.

I think the mind really gets 'tired' of repeated copy-paste-change work and starts registering 'Oh come on, it is done' before the last line ends.

Screenshot Captor / Re: SOLVED: Windows 10 OneDrive hijacks PrintScreen hotkey.

« Last post by anandcoral on December 09, 2015, 01:57 AM »

It's practically criminal that Windows doesn't/can't provide some sort of central, OS supported management of hotkeys.  Sometimes it's nearly impossible (or actually impossible) to figure out why a key isn't doing what you expect when it has been hijacked by some application.

ActiveHotkeys  by tranglos may help, to find out about the hotkeys.

Well soon I will be asking "Should I take the umbrella ?" to Cortana or Siri.
It looks similar to me asking this question to my wife now.

I dread when Cortana and Siri start replying like her !

Well after trying few times and then googling, I found that "Google withdrew support for adding Adsense ads to Google Sites" https://productforum...ic/sites/byQt8BIChis

Only Blogger and WordPress allowed, as free sites https://support.goog...e/answer/42534?hl=en

Looks like more work than I thought. I find working on Google sites much easier than WordPress. Let me see how I can manage a blog along with my g.sites. Pause at present.

Find And Run Robot / column to show the actual folder name

« Last post by anandcoral on October 15, 2015, 06:32 AM »

Mouser, can you add a column to show the actual folder name in "Search Folders" tab ?

It will help me to understand what folders FARR is scanning without doing some trial and error.

Living Room / thinking of some earning

« Last post by anandcoral on October 09, 2015, 06:42 AM »

I am thinking of some earning.
The free apps I make will remain free. The website I make for them can accommodate some ads.

This is how the internet is now and I am planning to go along. I read about adsense.
In summary,
I can apply but may not be approved,
My income is not guaranteed,
Google can disable adsense any time without reason,
May require extra work for the adsense to work.

Presently I am looking at it as an extra source of income, if possible with minimum work.

I will be happy to get comments for fellow developers who have experience in adsense, guidance etc.

Regards,

Anand

Developer's Corner / Re: Ethics in Technology

« Last post by anandcoral on September 27, 2015, 04:45 AM »

Sorry for late reply. Was taking care of my ailing wife, my first priority. She is recovering now.

So I can't see where a customer request for a feature would make your company cross an ethical line. So I could be wrong or missing something. But I'm still curious. 

-40hz (September 23, 2015, 11:26 AM)

Yes it is difficult to say if it can be called ethically wrong. It all depends on the side of the line where one is standing.
I can not say about the real projects, for obvious reasons. All the work the software does fulfills the rules of the accounting books. Just for hint I give below as example.

Compamy X pays a big amount in cheque to Organisation Y which has tax benefit. Then Y encash the cheque and pays back cash to X after deducting some percentage. Now in the books of Y there is a big cash amount. The software auto generates expenses as per rules and the account is closed.

The above is practised all over the world and not considered wrong. But if you see the larger impact, it do not seem ethically right.
May be I am wrong.

Anand

It could be you on the line at some point.  And the protections that cover the companies with their teams of lawyers will most likely not apply to you- the scapegoat.

-wraith808 (September 22, 2015, 08:20 AM)

Yes, I have done it.

We make mostly accounting and inventory software. At times I have questioned about the purpose of a particular feature, which I felt was not correct. I got the standard reply, "How does it matter to you or us ? The client want software for this feature. You code it, I sell it. We get our pays. Done."

Many of my software are used to adjust accounting records as per need. If I say we do not make it. Whole lot of programmers and companies are ready to do it. Looking back, when there was no computers and I worked as an accountant, I have done this manually under my then boss. It is just that now I code it, for others to do the same more easily.

Sad, but we are bound to earn for our family and ourselves.

Anand

"Ethics in Technology" or in any other profession for the matter, do not exist in front of "Profit Making"
 
Look at Doctors, they forget that they should treat a "patient" no matter how poor he/she is.
The Charted Account help to dodge the Govt. laws to save tax.
And it is better not to speak about the Lawyers.

Same way Engineers of IT, Electrical, Civil etc. are used by their Bosses to make profit and a big one. They just work as servant to help some one make profit and in turn earn their livelihood, all over the world.

When one is caught, some clean up is done and then everything is back to one. Same will happen to VW and we will forget about it in few years.

General Software Discussion / Re: Sudo and Kill commands for Windows

« Last post by anandcoral on September 19, 2015, 10:25 AM »

If you just need to edit protected files every now and then, it's easier to launch your editor with administrative privileges - fastest way to do that is launching it with Ctrl+Shift+Enter from the start menu/screen (silly it doesn't work with Win+R).

-f0dder (September 17, 2015, 05:06 AM)

Yes and also by right-click on taskbar icon I get administrative option. But I use SUDO from batch file to run a given program in administrative mode.

General Software Discussion / Sudo and Kill commands for Windows

« Last post by anandcoral on September 17, 2015, 04:53 AM »

http://www.ghacks.net/2015/09/17/sudo-and-kill-commands-for-windows/

I have to edit files / script which are in "\Program Files\" folder and need Administrative rights. Found SUDO useful as I can open the text editor via it in Administrative mode.

I already use SuperF4, still KILL can be useful from command line.
