I am going to be upgrading the Instance soon. I hope it fixes this bug. Though your image failed to link properly again. I was going to get that done this weekend, but I may not due to my brother having open-heart surgery. So some things in my schedule have been re-worked.
OK, knowers of arcane and esoteric stuffs, here's your challenge: I have a presentation framework data grid, and I'm trying to make an ancient ADO recordset it's datasource. I'm trying now, because after months of working, it magically stopped working after somebody fiddled with the code, but I can't for the life of me figure out what they set wrong.
I've checked the structure and contents of the recordset 6 ways from Sunday, and I'm absolutely certain it contains a large amount of data, but when I set it as the datasource for the grid, the grid updates column names, but doesn't show any data!
I've rewritten the code three different ways now, and it's always the same failure.
@Blaise This is the most common cause. If the code iterating through or preparing the recordset left the cursor at the end (EOF), the DataGrid binds to the current position forward. Since there are no records "ahead" of EOF, it renders zero rows but retains the schema (column names). Fix is explicitly reset the cursor to the beginning before assigning the datasource.
' Reset cursor to the first record
If Not rs.EOF Then
rs.MoveFirst
End If
Set DataGrid1.DataSource = rs
DataGrid1.Refresh
1.Reset cursor to the first record 2.Assign the datasource which is rs 3.Force a refresh if the grid doesn't auto-update
Do you have copies of the pristine dataset before being accessed via the code? What language are we using to access the dataset (assuming a higher level language over the SQL is being used)? Do you have a copy of the original code that did work?
Is this information to sensitive to share on the internet?
The party of stupid wants to start giving hormones to military members who need them to stay healthy. One year after banning trans people from service because they need hormones to stay healthy.....
Apparently, Amazon's AI has decided that I need a 200-ton press... Now mind you, it may be right, but I've just gotta know what I bought that told it I'd want that, of all things...
Do you think that when the Project management cult powers-that-be changed "Risk/Benefit Analysis" to "SWOT Analysis" (SWOT = Strength, Weakness, Opportunities, Threats), do you think that they were only looking for a way to repackage what everyone's been doing for a century as a new concept, or do you think that they were simply so poorly educated that they had never heard of "Risk/Benefit Analysis", so they just reinvented it?
It sure is a good thing the left spent the last 20 years building this "hate speech" catch-all legal framework that the right is now using to extort people who say mean things about them!
Every single time I see a "Spiderman" publication/movie, I read the UI word "Twip" as "Thwip" for weeks afterward. Once I even accidentally said it in a meeting!
Per the HR employee evaluation website, on average I spend 25% of my week in technical or project management meetings. I spend another 20% trying to translate waterfall designs and deadlines provided by customers into tiny chunk tasks, each representing "a day's work", while I have to learn a new project management tool (or new interface to an old tool) every six months. I actually accomplish something productive for about 20 hours a week, all said and done.
"You did that on purpose!" "What did I do?" "You named that table!" "It's a perfectly fine name!" "You didn't have to suggest that name. You know Jim is a religious nut!" "Look, 'Boolean Flag Translation Table' was just unwieldy. It had to be shortened." "You named it '[B-Trans]' on purpose to cause trouble. Then you started using it like a verb, and telling Jim he 'should B-Trans... that data'!" "We use all kinds of identifiers as verbs as a shorthand!" "Which you knew when you planned this!" "I really have no idea what you are talking about..."
Listen, left-folk. I know you don't like guns. I know you think banning things works, despite the results of Prohibition and the "Drug War".. I know you think it is better to trade essential freedoms for a little bit of perceived safety. But christ, for the bajillionth time, look where your authoritarian attitudes will lead!
American business culture has never valued employees unless they have some leverage. It should surprise no one that a company which is planning to replace all its people with AI in a few years is perfectly happy to piss every single employee off by ganking their raises and bonuses and actually telling them it's to pay for the AI...
The sitting "president" sues the government he's is in charge of, and forces a settlement that gets him BILLIONS for his personal use. But he's not a corrupt dictator, that's just crazy-talk!
Let me ask you a question. Using your personal, for real situation right now: If Cloudflare decided to ban all the IP's from VPNs and flagged your home and work IPs as bots, along with all the devices you personally own, identified by device fingerprinting, what would your life be like? Could you really get on with any kind of normal life?
Well, governments just started talking about banning VPNs in service to "Know Your Customer" and "Child safety". Do you think they'll try to hunt down every piece of VPN software on the internet, or will they use their "mandate" to force a choke point corporation to use their already ubiquitous scanning to block suspects without any due process or chance of appeal?
We no longer have the ability to govern ourselves, and the people who do have the ability are using it to destroy our civilization. This all ends in technofascism or luddite terrorism (or a mix of both). I can't see any other outcomes...
" The $16 billion data center... was flat-out rejected by both the town’s board and its planning commission in September. But those votes turned out to be only minor bumps on the project’s path: The developer quickly sued, the town settled, and the construction vehicles rolled in."

This isn't probably going to reach the right audience here, but seriously, if you are still paying to be productized by Windows, just stop.
ZorinOS , which more or less looks and feels just like Windows from an interface and organization perspective, runs wildly faster on my four year old laptop than Windows 11. I didn't have to install a single driver (exception: I needed to get my browser to control my USB ports, which is a weird, uncommon requirement, but I did have to install a driver for that.). It has an app store that actually has things in it I want, unlike the windows store, it boots in thirty seconds, and I found a Linux app to replace every program I commonly use on Windows. It even comes in a "Lite" version for even older tech.
I even got Linux Lite to run on my twelve-year-old laptop in under an hour, and although it's a little bare-bones looking, it plays video and loads web pages just as well as my newest laptop running Windows 11.
I'm no fanboy, but I feel like maybe we're approaching consumer-level Linux...
Gnu/Linux will never be consumer grade, it is professional grade 😀 😉. Users that take their computing seriously have been using Gnu/Linux, BSD or other 'nix (Unix Derivative) for decades. MS/Windows has always been a play OS for beginners in my opinion Now, with its built in spyware people have more reason than ever to upgrade to a real OS.
Zorin is not a bad Gnu/Linux distro though I hate the DM, I do not care for anything resembling MS/Windows though I know that was likely the reason you chose it. I prefer Gnome, it meets my needs perfectly. I am currently using Fedora 44 though that may change when OS level verification hits the scene full force. I may go back to building my own systems.
Wayback is vital to preserving our culture and history. It needs to collect current events to work. Now, the big news outlets are specifically blocking the archive, crippling the archive's ability to preserve data. This has to stop. We're losing big chunks of our history...
It's probably true for most services today, but if you want to see the ultimate evidence that Meta is dangerous, check out what happens if you use their products!
In a fit of desperation and creativity I "invented" sausage and peppers soup. Pictured, the last dregs my kids were fighting over because it was "too good". I think that that is a good thing...
So the old eugenics guys wanted to "remake our species for the better" through selective breeding, but then many of them spent the 20th century building a civilization that breeds people for aggression and stupidity.
Eugenics, historically, have been used in many cultures. Much of Europe nobility practiced as well as most nobility internationally. In Sweden it has been extensively practiced as well. Historically, eugenics in humans and animals has always, in my opinion, had a higher cost than natural selection. There are somethings that we can only manipulate so far before the cost of our influence is greater than the benefits. I would extend this ideology to plants as well with cross pollination being its equivalent to eugenics in animals . To make a better crop we have in some cases created a more shelf durable and sweet product with higher carbs but far less bio-available nutrition than its ancestors.
Perhaps when we know more about genetics, as we learn so much more every decade, this could be of some value. Though thus far I cannot see eugenics as a success as I see the costs greater than the benefits.
Namely, to implement eugenics in animals, which includes humans, inbreeding has often been used to facilitate this. This is an economical approach but one the leads to overall inferior results.
So there's this guy, a musical performer. In 2024, he ran for president on the "Weed Shall Overcome" ticket. This guy got harassed and jailed by police who subsequently stole his money and belongings. He wrote and released a song mocking them, so they sued him for harassment. He won that case, became famous, and is now running for President again.
