Don't use python then. You can use the same prompt to get C or C++ code to do the job and I'm pretty sure a Win32 compiled C .exe isn't going to struggle. :)

I just asked ChatGPT for you. Me: "write a python script to parse a text file, locate any Japanese language text in the file and translate to english" Here's the python script: How the script works: detect_japanese function: Uses a regex to detect any Japanese characters in the text...

My 2024 bingo card didn't have this - "The New York Court of Appeals ruled that the disgraced movie producer did not receive a fair trial when he was convicted in 2020." The LA conviction is being appealed now too. Odious man - a clear predator, belongs behind bars, but in a 4-3...

I have done occasionally, then I read about the wikimedia foundation and how much money they are sitting on - $180m in revenue last year - and realised despite the begging notices, they actually have more than enough in the bank to run the site for basically the rest of it's useful life. In...

Yeah, I have my ChessUp board sitting on the desk next to me. :)

Does anyone pay attention to the FTSE 100 index? I take a look every now and again and was surprised to see it's broken through the 8000 mark this week, it hit 8,076.52 earlier today - after being stagnant below that for ages.

That's a big one for us - Wifey Moles watches it all the time. But for me it's more about the UI of the boxes, I've had both Sky and Virgin over the years (back even when the network was NTL) and just prefer Sky now.

I have a stack of books to get through right now. The Trading Game by Gary Stevenson and Follow the Money by Paul Johnson are top of the pile. Then I have a bunch of Chess books to get through as my son wants to play and I want to get better and play too - Modern Chess Openings, Simple...

I pay that just for 1Gig internet. Having said that, was quite happy with that deal as previously I was with BT and paid that for what was at best 28Mb - and I don't want the Virgin TV crap, I prefer Sky. Hoping they roll out 2Gig in our area soon though, I'll happily pay a bit more for...

I was gold status with BA for a while - and likely will be Silver by the end of the year - which allows access to the Lounges globally (Silver = Business, Gold = First). They are not that amazing to be honest - but it's free food and drinks away from the hoi poloi. The First Class...

Those Start/Stop counts and Power Cycle counts seem oddly low. I believe (could be wrong) that a hard disk firmware update often resets SMART stats. I can't tell you for certain if this is a new drive or not but I'd certainly be testing the hell out of it before putting it into production.

Has anyone read any of the Clavell books aside from Shogun? Tai Pan? Gai Jin? King rat? Any good? I kinda like the era and the Japanese theme, the last series I read that's even remotely similar was Eric Van Lustbaders Ninja books - I read The Ninja, The Miko and White Ninja but...

There's scant evidence for that. The BBC documentary on the subject has been thoroughly criticised for poor journalism. I was assessed by a very well qualified mental health practitioner and they wrote direct to my GP to keep them in the loop. They didn't push me on to drugs at all. I made...

Just found this thread and thought I'd jump in. I've was diagnosed 2 months ago as having combined type ADHD - went private with ADHD360 for the assessment and treatment as the NHS has massive waiting lists. Currently going through titration with Concerta XL - started on 18mg week one...

I've switched from bacon in the morning to sizzler steaks from Sainsburys - get's my my protein kick and is much more healthy. When I have bacon though, it's smoked back bacon from Saino's and they usually import from Denmark I think.

I'm on the last bass of Burning Shore, then I'll be starting NG+. Absolutely loving this game - even more than I did on the PS5.

Plot twist: It's not Asim, It's Dirtydog.

It's a Massive Entertainment title, so I have high expectations.

Yup, a de facto closed shop.

I'm not convinced a train driver or tube driver is a 'senior' role in the industry.
