It's actually a stack full of money -there's gold in them thar fills.

I thought an Alligator wearing a tunic was a snappy dresser?

Sorry, Griff. I'm new to this. I never vote an article down but this was so obviously lifted from somone else that I thought I should report it. I would have thought that asking the question, 'is this your own work?' woud have prompted the author to add a reference. Regards, George.

Apologies, I am new to this and don't like reporting authors but the article did not even reference the source so I thought I should flag it up.

This article has code copied directly from this What's New in C# 8?

I think the main complaint is that Nvidia do not disclose sufficient information to allow others to build efficient drivers for its hardware.

I would try Linux Mint before giving up.

The problem is not with the CPU, it's the lack of driver support for the bungled hardware. See this piece regarding Nvidia.

Could I please make a few representations for the defence? It's not surprising that a PC built to run Windows does not run Linux as efficiently. Also, it takes two to network, if Linux doesn't network well with Windows it's equally true that Windows does not network well with Linux. As for the final statement, 'Linux...you're so close, yet still so far from actually being usable.' How can you explain that, according to Wikipedia, 'Linux has the largest installed base of all general-purpose operating systems. Linux is also the leading operating system on servers and other big iron systems such as mainframe computers'?

To buy or not to buy? That is the question.

Pleased to see that you were not speechless for long -you had me worried.

My experience is that developers prefer to write AI code in either C or C++ and that C# is rarely used. That’s probably because they like to manipulate pointers directly and favour unsigned integers over signed integers. Although C# supports uint, the .Net framework doesn’t seem to. I’ve found that certain bitwise operations are more easily performed on uints. My choice would be to use C# but converting from one value type to another, for example, int to uint, is relatively slow and is best avoided in repetitive algorithms.

You should start the Task and then await it.

public static async void FileReceived(string fileName)
{
Task<string> t = Task.Run(() => FTPFile(fileName));
await t.ContinueWith((t1) =>
{
FileUploaded(t1.Result);
});
}

If you don't get it, perhaps you should pass your eyes over it again

Well put, Bill. I feel that the temptation to be dictatorial on the Q&A forum needs to be resisted. Members should be free to post and answer questions without being bullied by others who think they know what’s best for them. To me, passing judgement on posters, when nothing is known about them or their circumstances, is somewhat unfair. Surely, virtue is not found by deprecating the needy but by offering them unconditional help?
