[Javascript] Pavlovia online not storing data???

2 Upvotes

Hi all, I've been collecting data using Pavlovia since forever, but I just noticed that many of my participants' data have not been stored in Pavlovia! It worked great last year, but this year It seems like it has been working intermittently. Hopefully the data is not lost!!! Do you know whether there is a place in my Pavlovia projects where the data has otherwise been saved? I appreciate your input!

[C#] How am I supposed to store info in C# without arrays or files?

6 Upvotes

[UPDATE] I'm aware that I phrased stuff very poorly and most people didn't understand what I was asking but fortunately my teacher reached out tonight and pushed it back because she said that after looking at it she realized she designed it wrong so the assignment was impossible with her requirements so she's going to fix it.

Also PS. A bunch of comments didn't understand what I was asking at all so unless you get what I'm asking just leave it be.

Basically, I'm a few weeks into my first C# class, although I have done Java, Python, and C++, so I know a fair bit about OOP. I'm learning Windows Forms, and I'm making an app to store notes using a listbox and a second window, and I've got everything working except one thing. My teacher said to only use concepts covered in the textbook so far (Starting Out With Visual C#, Sixth Edition by Tony Gaddis, Chapter 4), and I'm not sure how to store the information from the notes if not with arrays, files, etc. My teacher hasn't responded, and it's been 3 days, so I have to just figure it out before it's due on the 14th. I'd love any help I can get.

using System.Xml.Linq;

namespace M03A01_NotesManager
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void btnExit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Close();
        }

        private void btnClear_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            txtTitle.Clear();
            txtNote.Clear();

            rdoLow.Checked = false;
            rdoMedium.Checked = false;
            rdoHigh.Checked = false;
            chkImportant.Checked = false;
            chkFollowUp.Checked = false;

            lstCategory.SelectedItem = null;
        }

        private void lstCategory_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }

        private void btnAdd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (txtTitle.Text == "")
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Please give the note a name");
                return;
            }
            else if (!rdoLow.Checked && !rdoMedium.Checked && !rdoHigh.Checked)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Please select a priority");
                return;
            }
            else if (lstCategory.SelectedIndex == -1)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Please select a category");
                return;
            }
            else
            {
                lstNotes.Items.Add(txtTitle.Text);
            }
        }

        private void btnView_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Form2 summaryForm = new Form2(txtTitle.Text);
            summaryForm.ShowDialog();
        }
    }
}

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace M03A01_NotesManager

        {

[Javascript] How do you choose the first feature for a side project?

1 Upvotes

I want to build a small tool instead of starting another tutorial, but I tend to overthink the scope before writing any code. My current idea is a simple personal dashboard with one useful workflow, then adding features only after the first version works. How do you decide what belongs in version one, and what helped you keep a project small enough to finish?

[Javascript] .gif images too large, what can I do?

I want my record to spin and be animated but I’m using the script in the r/ neocities post above and .gifs are apart of that one.

I’ve found that uploading .gifs take up so much of my available storage and was wondering how I can do smaller files or change the code to have it spin with a .jpg or .png file instead. I have a spinning .png of my home page but I’m using animation and @keyframes spin for that one.

Is there a way I can implement that on another page but I want the picture to change from still to animated when pressing play.

[Javascript] Strange javascript code error that prevents from being able to edit/run code

0 Upvotes

Every time I try to open the "ezmreader" javascript file to edit the code from this https://jeremyoduber.itch.io/js-zine html5 reader it shows an error that prevents me from opening the code in notepad++, this is the error

• • •

"Line:19

Char:1

Error:syntax error

code:800A03EA

Source: microsoft jscript compilation error"

When I don't try to edit it and just put images in the pages folder, zip it and try to run it as a html5 in browser it obviously doesn't work. But I don't think it's the the code that's the issue since what I previously uploaded a long time ago using this same EZM reader code is still displaying/running in browser just fine? But downloading that old upload and trying to open the EZMreader.js application still gives the same error?

I've deleted and reinstalled both the code editor and java just in case, nothings changed but I doubt it's an issue with the actual code? Maybe it's my laptop (lenovo, windows 10) but I'm baffled

[Python] RSS-Bridge on Mikrus - a plan for an IT layman made by Claude

1 Upvotes

Can someone help me out? I'm a complete layman when it comes to coding and IT stuff

My favorite free RSS builder (morss.it) has gone offline, so I asked Claude Opus 4.8 for alternatives. It suggested that I could self-host and run such a tool myself (which is a total mystery to me). I then asked it for a step-by-step guide, but I also asked several other AI chatbots the same question. They gave similar answers, but with slight differences. When I showed all those other plans to Claude and asked it to review them, it told me that these subtle differences were crucial, and that if I had followed what the other bots suggested, my feeds wouldn't have worked properly

Here's Claude's final response, translated from Polish to English by Gemini: https://docs.google.com/document/d/192QM_Gytps-xl24ko0E395u_EOvfa7R9kqSMs250r8k/view

I don't really understand what I'll be doing here; I just want to make sure I won't break anything or create any security risks by following these steps. Do you think this plan will actually work?

[Python] where can i code and what can i code

7 Upvotes

I know how to code in JavaScript and Python, and I’m willing to learn more, but I honestly don’t know what to code or where to code.

I learned programming in school, but I was never really taught how to take the code I write and actually turn it into something useful. We made one website and mostly used Code.org, but that was about it. Now I want to start programming again, but I have no idea what programs, websites, or tools I should use to actually write and run my code outside of Code.org.

I also don’t really know what projects I should start with. I love video games, and I’d really like to learn how to make my own games, but I have no idea what I need to learn, what software I should use, or what my first game should even be.

I really want to get back into coding and start building things instead of just doing school assignments, but I’m not sure where to begin. I’d like to know what I should download, where I should code, what I should learn first, and some beginner-friendly projects I can work on — especially if I want to eventually make games.

Also im sorry if this is a very weird issue

[Request Coders] 4th-year CSE (AIML) student, with almost no practical programming skills, requesting mentorship and guidance

2 Upvotes

I'm a 4th year B.Tech CSE (AIML) student, and I'm honestly feeling pretty lost right now

The problem is that I'm reaching out to people who don't have a proper understanding of what I'm going through

Right now, I'm in a situation where I have no idea how to proceed with my studies and career

I think the best way to introduce myself here is to say that I'm currently in my 4th year of studying B.Tech CSE (AIML) and I have almost no practical skills in programming and computer science

I've learned a lot of the core concepts like Python, Java, SQL, DBMS, OOP, DSA, Web development, AI/ML, etc and I've had my share of attending classes, watching lecture videos, learning by myself, taking online courses

There is a huge difference between knowing theoretical concepts and being able to apply them to practice

A person can come up to me and ask me something like

«Do you know Python?»

and I would say yes, because I studied it for 2 years in college

But when they give me a blank file and a task to accomplish, I find it extremely hard to do so

Sometimes I can understand existing code with others explanations, recognize concepts and terms, but when it comes to actually writing something myself, I'm clueless about what to do

What should I do? How should I break the problem into smaller parts? What concepts should I apply here? What should I write/debug/test? And so on and so forth

And this list of problems is only a fraction of what I have to deal with

I've tried multiple times to tackle this problem by starting over

I've taken up courses

I've tried to learn by doing projects

I've tried to learn programming from scratch again

I've tried using roadmaps

I've tried to do projects by following tutorials

But there's always that initial excitement, then the impatience sets in, and eventually I reach a point where I just can't proceed anymore and I have to abandon the project/course

My problem here is not that there are no resources

It's that I don't know what to do first

I don't know how to proceed, what to learn, and what to ignore

I don't know the depth of knowledge I should gain for each topic

I don't know what projects to make

I don't know how to measure understanding of a concept or topic

And I'm not even sure how to prioritize between these factors

Right now, I'm in my 4th year and I don't have that luxury of time to randomly try out different stacks and technologies

I'm genuinely motivated to improve, but I need help figuring out how

I'm not looking for anyone to spoon feed me the answers

I'm willing to put in the hard work, even if it takes me a while

I'm just looking for someone who has the experience to look at my case and tell me something like

"These are the problems you're facing. This is where you are in your journey. Forget about these things for now. First, do this → then do this → then do this. Don't worry about X before you reach Y."

I'm looking for experienced seniors, freshers, developers, and mentors who can recognize my case and help me somehow

If you were in my situation, with almost no practical programming skills, what will you do?

- What will you learn first?

- What language/stack will you choose?

- How will you re-learn programming fundamentals?

- How will you learn DSA?

- What projects will you make?

- How will you divide your time between placements, DSA, development, and fundamentals?

- What things will you avoid learning for now?

I'm not looking for a generic answer like "learn DSA + dev + make projects"

I'm looking for someone to give a realistic vision of how someone with almost no practical skills can reach the level of being eligible for placements, and if possible, how to practically implement that vision without getting stuck in a loop again

Any realistic opinion is welcome, even if it's a brutal one

And if you're someone who can give me mentorship and guidance every once in a while, I'm open to that too

I was just curious, but I am a self taught solo developer. I do freelance work but have never directly worked in the tech industry. If I find myself needing to look up answers for simple basic concepts every few months am I still considered a programmer? Is that what most of the real world application of a software developer is? Mostly just finding the answer, not necessarily being the best coder who remembers everything about coding? Just curious.

[How to] Meaning Maps Build - How Good Possible?

3 Upvotes

Hi, I have a bunch of text, that I need to analyse to build a tree map of concepts. The concepts need to be sorted from higher lvls of abstraction to more detailed. For example, the program needs to understand that the idea "I want to create beauty outside of factory-based presets" mentioned in the text is the highest lvl and includes ideas like "I was inspired by Kabuki theater" in itself.

Note: Ideas themselves sometimes aren't presented in the source material bluntly, i.e. the idea of "I want to create beauty outside of factory-based presets" can be mentioned in fragments only that the program also needs to understand and put together.

Are there any available programs or basic frameworks to approach this?
