  • I hate it when the bank changes their app.
    J JudyL_MD

    My bank over here has had it for quite a few years (large but not behemoth, with a culture of customer service). I'm not sure what the amount limit is though. I know we've deposited at least $1500 (1180 pounds) via the app. A 1000 pound limit sounds quite small.

  • Can a student that can't even handle freshman calculus possibly be a good programmer?
    J JudyL_MD

    Sure they can. Even back in my undergraduate days (82 - 86), my school had two different paths to becoming a "programmer" (using your word). The Computer Engineering degree was in the Engineering department and was identical to the Electrical Engineering degree for the first two years, so calculus physics and chemistry were requirements. The Computer Science degree was in the Arts and Sciences department, and only had some logic-type math class requirements, but no physics nor chemistry per se; they had a breadth requirement for some 100-level science class but they could pick which one. My roommate was a CS and I was a CpE. We both have had very successful careers in "programming." I've found the most important thing to being a success in programming is the ability to know how to solve problems. Know your problem domain, know what tools and languages are available and what support they give you, know the "usual" approach to solving a related problem, know when to throw out the usual approach, and most importantly, know that you don't know everything.

  • DPI issue when calling C# from C++
    J JudyL_MD

    I'm putting this in C# since it's an issue with initializing NET... I have a WinForm DLL that is written to be DPI-aware. It is called from both C# and C-based executables. There is an intermediate mixed-mode C / CLR / C# DLL between the executable and the Winform DLL that calls from C to Managed C++ to C# to launch the WinForm DLL. Both the C and the C# exe are also DPI-aware (as appropriate for their language) and both display correctly. Here's the logic flow. C or C# exe: - calls into the intermediate's cdecl entry point using the usual LoadLibrary / GetProcAddress mechanism intermediate mixed-mode DLL: - C entry point makes a call to an internal CLR function - CLR function marshals the parameters, does a gcnew on a C# class and calls its single member function - C# member function:

    Assembly targetAssembly = Assembly.Load (File.ReadAllBytes ("path to winform dll");
    Type startType = targetAssembly.GetType ("startupNameSpace.startupClass", true);
    object startLib = startType.InvokeMember ("", BindingFlags.CreateInstance, null, null, new object[0]);
    startType.InvokeMember ("startupMethod", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, startLib, new object[] { marshalled parameters } );

    WinformDll: - startupNamespace.startupClass is NOT a form, just a plain C# class - startupMethod creates a parameterized thread, sets the apartment state to STA and starts the thread passing the marshalled parameters - the thread instantiates the first WinForm class with the parameters and calls ShowDialog So, here's the problem. When run from a C# exe, the DPI logic works correctly. I have a C#exename.exe.config file in the same directory with the exe that contains a "startup" section with my framework version number and a "System.Windows.Forms.ApplicationConfigurationSection" section containg the DpiAwareness key with a value of PerMonitorV2. When run from a C exe, the WinForm display is incorrect in the exact places where I have my DPI-handling logic. It's obvious from the display that the property DeviceDpi is incorrect for every form. The research I've done leads me to believe that the .NET environment created to run my winform assembly is missing the dpi awareness flag that is set in the config for the C# exe. I've tried adding a config file with all the different name permuations using the C exe name, the intermediate dll name, the Winform dll name, "exe" and "dll". Nothing is picked up by the NET subsys

    J JudyL_MD

    My mail delivery folks are notorious in my household for not delivering packages because "unable to access house" when I live in a house 1) without a fence, 2) on a public street, and 3) the front door is 15 feet of unobstructed grass from the public sidewalk. Lazy sod just doesn't want to say they skipped this part of their delivery route, so they make up an excuse.

  • Dark mode
    J JudyL_MD

    I love it. I am extremely sensitive to light, and I find it helps me get through a full work-day without a tension headache around my eyes. Note that I run my "blue-light mode" 100% of the time to also reduce brightness and mellow the colors. Theory is it reduces eye strain, but I think that depends on how well designed the color scheme is. I've seen some dark modes that aren't customizable that make my eyes hurt worse than light mode due to poor color choices that make it tough to pick up details.

  • ISO FYI parent / child NOT in glossary ( of terms)
    J JudyL_MD

    Of course those terms aren't in the glossary since those aren't the standard terms. There are base and derived classes that described an inherited relationship. One class A can be a member of another class B. A pointer to class A can be a member of another class B. That's basically it -- you're trying to create a new description to describe a relationship that already has a definition: member.

  • forum expansion + two other bugs
    J JudyL_MD

    No, I'm not asking for a new forum ... wow, another issue: I clicked an emoji to insert in my message and it posted the very incomplete message instead of inserting the emoji. Anyhoo, on the left side of the screen while browsing through the various forums is a list of forums, grouped together by general subject, such as "general programming" and "mobile development". Previously, if you clicked on a closed group name, the group would expand and list all its constituent forums. This expansion no longer works. I click on "general programming" and ... nothing. Now, this may be my system here since I use a very buttoned-down browser here at work, but there seem to be lots of little things not working and there was mention of system errors and a migration so ... maybe it's not my browser. Also: I am usually NOT signed in while using CP, which leads to issue number three -- the "sign in" link in the very upper right no longer takes you to a sign-in page. I had to click the link in the "you must be signed in to post a message" blurb that appears above the messages in this forum. Is my IT department messing with me that much, or did I just encounter three bugs in the span of 10 minutes? Judy

  • Any Robert A. Heinlein Fans Here?
    J JudyL_MD

    You'll love it. It's got just about everything in it. All the published novels and shorts, a couple of volumes of correspondence (RAH was an avid letter-keeper and this has all of them, except the ones he ordered Ginny to burn upon his death (she did)), the political writings during his early years while married to Leslyn, the transcripts of convention addresses, the screenplay for Destination Moon, ... Each volume has an intro by RAH's official biographer. I also have Patterson's 2-volume biography. My personal opinion: I don't agree with those who say Patterson completely white-washed him. Some yes, but not that much. RAH was an argumentative opinionated man and Patterson usually doesn't show much at all of the other side of the disagreements. Not surprising, since Patterson is a self-admitted fan and had unfettered access to RAH's personal writings and material to use as the basis of the biography.
