    Franck got a reaction from kirashi in Setting up Photo Download Workflow   
    Depend on your level of knowledge in programming. You can simply make a windows service to runs every minute which run powershell, c#, java that simply connect to your email, read the emails and find the link and do everything itself

    Franck got a reaction from Eigenvektor in What is a good free Text to Speech library which is easy to code for in C#   
    Well if you are running on windows it's easy, you can use windows text to speech
     
    var synthesizer = new SpeechSynthesizer(); synthesizer.SetOutputToDefaultAudioDevice(); synthesizer.Speak("Some text to say"); This simply transform any text to speech using the default audio source so typically your speaker on a laptop.
    Now windows come with at least 1 male, 1 female voices installed with your OS language but you can install more. I had at least 5 male/ 5 female for both english and french.
     
    You can see which you currently have with the synthesizer object using the get installed voices
    var voices = synthesizer.GetInstalledVoices()  
    Now that is not a perfect voice simulation but way better than your need. Now seems likes 2-3 voices isn't enough right ? well actually it is. Since you actually decide the audio output device of where the sound is going you can easily redirect to :
    1 - You own audio coded device with NAudio (a .net lib) and grab the wave and apply filter to speed up, slow down, increase/decrase pitch... to change the voice output
    2 - OBS and apply filters on audio source
    3 - Audacity and do whatever you want with the audio.
     
    All this is 100% free and 100% off the grid. I actually build something similar to this to read prompt text file with thousands of different voice, randomly generated at first and filtered after. that was back in 2006-2007 and i believed they are still using it.
     
    This whole feature set also come with Speech to text. Back then i use to listen to user prompt and make my own assitant and respond to his demand but nowaday you could simply add ChatGPT and make players have conversation with the AI. You just need to tell it first who he is, what he knows, what he's trying to convey and let them speak to your laptop lol.

    Franck got a reaction from WWicket 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

    Franck reacted to Windows7ge in Nvidia GRID issues   
    I have some limited experience with GRID & vSphere.
     
    Is this a day 1 problem or did it crop up out of nowhere?
     
    I'd try a different software for accessing the VM. Windows RDP or PARSEC. Something that will use the vGPU video encoder.
     
    Otherwise make sure you're using a Q profile GRID 240Q 260Q etc. This dictates it will support NVENC.
     
    Do you routinely log out of these VMs or do users leave their sessions open after exiting? Could be a contributor.

    Franck got a reaction from Skipple in Login with Ltt Forum   
    What you are looking for is called "Federated authentication". Typically website that uses federated authentication do not offer federation themselves.
    So I highly doubt the forum is a federation provider.

    For the market this is not a useful metric.
    Even if it would write 1000 time slower than another drive the reason why someone buy these is because this gets [x] TB for [y] cubic centimeters.

    So once this is implemented the next project is to force people to install a mandatory USB dual arm 5 axis robot to be able to use the browser so it can hold your head and open your eyelid force you to see the ad.

    Franck reacted to Avocado Diaboli in i got my stuff encrypted   
    Ok seriously, is nobody willing to be brutally honest here? Alright, so you should just abandon any hope of getting anything back. Nor should you interact with the bottom feeders who profit off of this scheme. Kiss your data goodbye and feel bad for downloading and running sketchy shit in the first place to not spend money on a game. Learn from the experience, set up proper backups of important data beginning immediately and stop pirating stuff while you're at it. Stop asking question on how to get your data back, people here aren't willing to just flat out tell you <removed> for getting in the situation you're in, but I am. Nuke the hardware you used from orbit and start fresh.

    Franck reacted to LogicalDrm in I have a question about what causes excel to slow down   
    At some point its must be decided anyway. To work on something that is slow, prone to dataloss and crashes and not made to what its apparently used for. Or to move on something that can be "of the shelf" or custom made for the purpose. Having some downtime during training, but in the end, being more effective, secure and safe. Company not being "tech" is such a weird argument to be made. You don't need to be tech-anything to use tools that are made to increase productivity. You could present issues, solutions, cost/time savings gained etc. to your superior and see how they think of things.
     
    So, somethings that just give me chills. I've worked in two companies that utilize heavily Excel as shared platform. One had network drive, the other (current) uses Sharepoint. Both have had several moments of dataloss, all from multiple users using same file directly. With network drive issue was that some users left the file open after their shift ended. Meaning that at worst, no one could do changes or even open the file. Some times closing the file in wrong way caused data to corrupt and backup to be used instead. This happened multiple times during the 9 month period, corruption 1-4 times, issues from multiple users weekly. The current Sharepoint method is bit better as file is usually able to handle multiple users. I say usually since we have had corruptions couple of times. Conclusion being that opening file on desktop app can make it so that others can't see changes or open the file.
     
    With that, I would say one of the bigger reasons for any slowness is multiple simultaneous users. But just amount of data too. 10k rows is much. Same is lesser rows, but calculations happening all over the files.

    Franck got a reaction from Eigenvektor in How to install Win95 on a Windows 7 laptop.   
    Yeah but if he already have win95 cd he might as well just install it in a vm. He will automatically have both (DOS + Win95) in a single VM and since he isn't sure which version of the game it is then for sure that VM will work for both case.
     
    Plus DOSBox is a nightmare to make work properly nowadays

    Franck got a reaction from Eigenvektor in Looking to create an OS that will run on Replit.com, looking for advice and assistance.   
    That doesn't make that program an OS. I think you are confused on the terms.
    What you are looking for is making an interpreter.
     
    That will help your research and this is totally doable with most languages and thousand fold easier than making an OS
  19. Agree
    Franck got a reaction from Eigenvektor in Looking to create an OS that will run on Replit.com, looking for advice and assistance.   
    I don't think anyone said something wasn't possible. Outside saying it's not possible with Python which is true. If your Replit.com supports compiling to C or Assembly your good to go.
     
    There is however much better tool for coding Assembly and C and i don't remember the name but there is a minimal unix base OS that really doesn't have much more than couple hundreds of thousand of lines of code and it's a good kind of project to use as a base to see how they made things. You wont find much tutorial on making OS unfortunately.
     
    **Edit**
    I just thought about it and you can actually start on the easy path and make a "kind of" OS by working with Arduino. It is embedded systems but it's a great stepping stone, plus it will make you learn native languages (most likely C)
  20. Agree
    Franck got a reaction from Eigenvektor in Looking to create an OS that will run on Replit.com, looking for advice and assistance.   
    The GUI is close to the last step in making an OS. You need to build the core that speak with the components first.

    Franck got a reaction from da na in Looking to create an OS that will run on Replit.com, looking for advice and assistance.   
    I don't see any VM options on their site. All i see is that it seems to be a GUI for coding or something like that. Your premise seems flawed. For an OS to run on a specific host website it need VM or at least some kind of docker which is "technically" a VM.
     
    Nowadays there are more language that ca interface with controllers chips on different components. Basically you have the good old Assembly and C but there are couple others. I would personally stick to those and maybe try Rust a little bit. I recently seen someone making a switch running Rust so it does interface with couple things to an extent but I haven't dived into it enough to say it can do it all like Assembly can. Since it's C++ alike it probably can do most of the job but not all.

    Franck reacted to wanderingfool2 in How to count the number of rows of a table used in the query?   
    I know not an answer, but why?
     
    Using DESC just needlessly would complicate things and would start getting into a terrible habit to learn.  Ultimately it should be followed to keep it simple, especially when learning, unless you are trying to make a super efficient query...but it fits neither case.
     
    It would be different if you weren't allowed using LIMIT or OFFSET (as not everything supports that).
     
    I mean if you really wanted to you could do something like
    SELECT * FROM employees ORDER BY salary DESC LIMIT 1 OFFSET (SELECT count(*) FROM employees) - 3; The above though, if I were to be marking someone on it, I would give them a failing grade because while technically doing the job it's by no means something that should be considered to be done.

    Franck got a reaction from LAwLz in Reddit pulls a Twitter. Third Party Apps will cost some developers $20 MILLION/yr.   
    Well if I just count a very simple sample I have the request json is about 12k in average and return for comments and such seems to average 340k.
    That be 17.6 tb of bandwidth for me to do 50m queries. If I was doing that amount of api call my Amazon S3 storage would cost what ? ~1500$.
    We are at something like 10 cents per gb for the first 10 tb ?
     
    So despite seeing how much it would cost me I know everyone have their own bandwidth usage but that is only a single aspect of the pricing.
    I do not think 12k is appropriate but I am certain 120$ doesn't make sense either
