    WWicket reacted to Franck in How to translate multiple HTML pages to another language   
    for basic HTML it is much easier ti create 2 website and route in your webserver based on the user favored display language. The reality is that in the real world i have yet to work with a multilingual website where the translation was able to not break the layout. Like french version of an english site tends to be around 50% longer text for everything. If your site only contain like 100 words per page it's not a big deal but large website like parts manufacturer

    WWicket reacted to Hi P in Should I Make My Script In Batch or PowerShell   
    I absolutely misread the word! I thought we were talking about Bash or PowerShell (since if I recall correctly, there's a way to run Bash on Windows)
     
    Shame on me hehe 😅

    Unclear if you are just bringing up Bash as another popular scripting option (and I suppose maybe a weird possibility with WSL) or if you misunderstood because batch and bash are similar words, but the OP is talking Windows batch scripting, which is unrelated to Bash. 

     
    It has significantly better predictability (don't need to worry about interpreter versions) and backwards compatibility. Sometimes in enterprise environments you need to write a script that will work on computers that might not have PS or might have the wrong PS version etc. *cough DOS* Batch script can be lighter and the interpreter significantly lighter than PS. In most cases, PS is a much better choice, but that doesn't mean batch has nothing to offer/ is never the right choice.

    For your specific example, if you want to make your debloater be able to work on systems that have PS disabled, than PS is obviously the wrong choice (Or if you wanted to also support older versions of Windows [95/98/ME/2000]).  Not much but something🤷‍♂️

    WWicket got a reaction from PapaAquaWet in Should I learn AWS or Azure instead?   
    AWS offers a free-tier/trial on the vast majority of their products, including most storage solutions (5GB/12Mos S3, 5GB/12Mos EFS, 30GB/12Mos EBS, 100GB SGW, etc.).
     
    You can find details here

    (Not a differentiating feature from Azure; both offer tons of free training and trial versions of most services... just responding to the above. I don't think it makes any difference which you start on; skillset is almost entirely transferrable between them)

    WWicket got a reaction from Tehkast in Commenting in code Python   
    I feel like this really encompasses the moment you know there was a missed opportunity for some helpful comments :


     
    Small, simple projects don't often require much in the way of commenting and getting caught up in commenting too much can tend to be used as a crutch for unclear code with poorly chosen variable names. More than any specific habits around commenting, being able to clearly explain your code, especially why it is structured the way it is and choices of algorithms/data structures etc. is going to help moving into a professional setting (both during interviews and when actually working). Writing documentation for what you are doing can be help you get used to explaining and thinking through these sorts of choices, but code comments aren't the only or even usually most important documentation... overall, most new developers would probably get as much or more value focusing on versioning/defect logs/commit comments,  req. (user story etc.)/arch. (functional interface/class diagrams) / end-user documents than code comments. Not a big fan of TFD in production, but think TFD approach is great for learning and tends to clarify what needs to be documented.

    Google Drive, Office 365.....etc. Why in the world are you building a NAS for company use in 2022 when the main function is to share office documents? This question would make sense in 2006.
     
    Also, in regards to wireless, know anybody who works primarily with a laptop? Do you also work with your smartphone only tethered because 'its more reliable'.

    WWicket got a reaction from Camren jones in Selecting Your Own Post as the Solution Counts as +1 Community Answers   
    I specifically said that I thought you should be able to mark it as the solution, it just shouldn't count towards your community answers - in my opinion. I don't think there is any value in engaging with you on the topic further, as it is clear to me that we disagree fundamentally on the underlying purpose for the community answers metric. (Which isn't to say you shouldn't disagree ... just that I think we are going in loops and don't see the value in discussing it further).

    These two were by far the biggest improvements for me - as someone with portrait displays that docks and undocks a lot with a lot of monitors and uses snap placements heavily, these two features were enough life improvement to be worth switching on their own.

    Let's see....
    New scheduler system for supporting CPUs with cores of different performance. Considerable security improvements. Bluetooth AAC codec support (Prior Windows only supported SBC codec... so, you now get to enjoy a notable audio quality boost). Bluetooth quick connect/manage panel. No need to go to Settings panel each time. Bluetooth Music and Communication auto-switch mode (like on Android/iOS devices). No longer need to switch between modes manually. Quick Audio output source selection File Explorer Tabs. WSLg (GUI + Audio + GPU graphics acceleration support for WSL2). Android apps on Windows. Powered by Android 12. ARM64EC support, allowing ARM64 based applications to use x86-64 libraries, allowing this mix universal application translation, allowing devs to port their app to native ARM64 with greater ease and gain notable performance gains as a result, and as libraries and other components are converter to ARM64, things will just accelerate and be more responsive. Windows Terminal default command console/terminal Window placement memorization based on screen configurations. Allowing people to undock their laptop and dock it back in without having all their applications lose placement when the monitors were disconnected. Also, allows DisplayPort Deep Sleep feature to work properly where applications won't all move the primary monitor and at some random location when the monitor wakes up from sleep. Improved DirectStorage performance Improved Dark theme Improved GUI consistency Significantly improved touch experience New, much improved, touch keyboard (customizable too) Improved window snap, with portrait monitor support, and ultra-wide monitor support. Also allows 2x2 layout, not just side-by-side. Focus Session, allowing you to mute all notifications and play Spotify music, and track your tasks needed to be done that you set and what has been completed. Significant accessibility improvements, including but limited to system wide Voice Control and Captioning Based on your region, Windows Update will auto-magically download when your region uses the most-renewable/green electricity  Improved Windows Sandbox feature, making it easier to use it to test things that you feel suspicious. Improved wireless file sharing between systems (Nearby Share), allowing not only Bluetooth for file transfer but also Network. Improved Clipboard History (Win+V) Re-worked Settings panel, reorganizing everything and improved performance. Re-worked right-click explorer menu... No more long wait times for menu to show up due to an unresponsive application entry. New views in Device Manager to better know which drivers are linked to which device or hardware type. Webcam control under Settings panel (control zoom, saturation, contract, sharpness, brightness, and anything else the camera drivers allow). Battery consumption meter section under Settings, allowing you to track your device battery life, and which application consumes the most. Drive Health is now known in the Settings panel. No need to get some third-party app, unless you want details. Improved Windows Hello performance. Improved windowed mode gaming performance. The performance impact over Exclusive Full Screen Mode is now marginal, great for multi-display setups as well. HDR support with variable refresh rates display with a game running in windowed mode Improve Game Bar You can now launch a game with the Xbox button from your Xbox Controller HDR Calibration Improve HDR monitor support. AutoHDR.

    WWicket got a reaction from shadow_ray in What computer is satisfactory for programming?   
    Okay - here is information. Rust is hard. Rust has an extremely small marketshare. The combination means (good) Rust developers are relatively highly-paid and hard to find. Rust is great, but Rust isn't a language you use without knowing why you are using it. 
     
    I have no issue with people not being experts. This is effectively: 'I am starting a 3PL business. We are going to be moving some things, some amount of distance, across some kind of terrain. Not sure yet or won't tell you. But I am planning on buying 50 vehicles and am wondering what kind I should get. I like hydrogen powered thing. I'm not really that up-to-speed on supply chain management or transport.'

    WWicket got a reaction from Takumidesh in How to get into programming? - Resource Thread   
    Robotics is less a programming domain than an application IMO. We have basically 4 categories of programmers that work with robots at my job: 
    A) Control engineers/ automation engineers/ process engineers/ deployment engineers/ robotics operators/ etc. that will be SMEs for a specific robot-type and responsible for the configuration of finished/fully-developed robots. Sometimes this involves actual programming, sometimes it is just done through config. files or front-end utilities. Most of them are comfortable scripting but would not meet the technical bar to be hired as an SDE. Not really any expectation to know a language here, but most of them are at least comfortable with BASH, making minor edits to existing C++, SQL, XML/JSON/YAML, and some web automation tools like Selenium. 
    B) Hardware development engineers, embedded programmers, robotics engineers that design and build prototypes of the robots. They do all the IC and PLC programming. We don't utilize a ton of FPGAs, but I'd probably throw the FPGA developers we have in this grouping. Most of them have an engineering degree (Electrical, mechanical, computer, control, signal, aerospace, robotics, mechatronics... see a pretty big range, but much more often a BE vs BS). Most of these teams use C/C++ as their primary languages. 
    C) Computer Vision, Machine Learning Infrastructure Engineers, Applied Researchers - build the ML/AI and sensor/vision models. Most of these have PhDs. 
    D) General SDE, Machine learning engineers - training models, connecting all the systems, motion logic, material handling logic, building control interfaces, etc. Most of total development staffing... no hard educational requirements, just need to meet the general hiring bar for SDEs. Mix of C++ and Java, primarily. 

    The robotics teams also have the usual development support roles ~ QA/test engineers, appsec, devops, safety and compliance etc. that have varying degrees of involvement on the SWE side.

    WWicket got a reaction from aDoomGuy in Clear CMOS on front panel?   
    It isn't that uncommon for overclocking focused motherboards to have something similar, for example reset CMOS  switch on the back IO panel. Probably for most people seriously into overclocking enough to make use of the feature, the other features on those kinds of boards (EVGA Kingpin models, AsRock Extreme models etc.) make sense anyways.

    Using a reset switch should work fine  (though depending on the board, you might have to hold it a while and there could potentially be issues if it is one where you move the jumper to different pins instead of just bridging [depending on what the default bridged position does]).

    Ok, but you've never really mentioned that you prioritize aesthetics over performance. If you're going to ask in an enthusiast forum, you're more likely to find people who make bang for the buck recommendations rather than focusing on aspects that are unrelated to performance. You asked for high quality and high fps, that's what people based their recommendations on.
