HTML Click handler for <embed> element
Ah yeah, this is tricky. What I suggest should work here: - on the div, add CSS "pointer-events: none;" on your overlay (transparent) div. This should let scrolls pass through the div, into the PDF. - but keep the click event in place Let me know if this works :)- Ghost

HTML Click handler for <embed> element
What others have said is 100% true. A PDF (or most content in an embed) is going to need click/scroll/hover/etc events. This overrides the default site, because you are EMBEDDING a different "experience" (pdf, etc) into your site. The reason it doesn't work is because it's counterintuitive to...- Ghost

C++ Understanding the Difference Between C and C++
I think the others here covered it fairly well, but one thing to call out is that a lot of times there are codebases that have a C and a C++ version but are otherwise near identical w/ usage and syntax. You may find yourself also creating wrappers of your own (hint: extern C) to use things in... -
How to deal with feeling of not wanting to learn anything?
When I feel like this I usually try to come up with a real reason to learn something. For example, one of my first clients needed big data. He wanted web crawlers that could identify business information. We ended up with around 20 million business listings in 1 database. We then had to find a...- Ghost

found a probable scam site, want to know how it works
Carrefour is a real company. This site is most likely being sent to people in bulk, so the creator would send to thousands and thousands of people. Out of all those recipients, a good sized group of them will visit the site, and some may think it's the official Carrefour website. Most likely...- Ghost

Python Feedback on a program I made.
In the future you can also do things like this: import os path = "folder/path/here" folderexists = os.path.isdir(path) if not folderexists: os.mkdir(path) This checks if the folder exists, and if not will create the folder automatically. You could also add a file: f = open(path +... -
Help with Autoscoring Website?
Well, step 1 should be HTML/CSS to create the initial designs. You can use PHP to hold questions/answers in arrays (or store in a database & retrieve with PHP), making the orders random. This would obviously have a corresponding data entry saved to a file or database so that scantrons can be...- Ghost

Help with Autoscoring Website?
I can't answer in full right now, but can you tell us what technologies you would want to use primarily? For example, PHP or Python come to mind for me, with PHP obviously a go-to for websites. Due to the details of your project, I feel obliged to ask you if you'd rather pay to have it created...- Ghost

Python Python code to read in data file, write it to a file, order columns in ascending order
It appears that each column value is separated by a tabbed space. I didn't check each one though. If this is the case, you can do a split() to separate by new lines. Then in a loop, use split to separate by tabbed space. If it's the first line, then these split values are the column names and... -
Python Confused in name binding in python
x = 1 # we are binding the variable x to the value of 1 (== 1, === 1) x = 5 # Now x is no longer 1, it is 5 y = 2 # we are binding the variable y to the value of 2 (== 2, === 2) x = y # Now x is no longer 5, it is the value of y (== 2, === 2, == y, ===y) What is happening is this: x = integer... -
Python What does this code signifies in relation to boolean logic?
A boolean is basically true/false. You are evaluating something. You can evaluate a variable, a statement, etc. So when you say my_age >= 100 you are saying "if my age is over or equal to 100 is TRUE" then... else if "my age is less than or equal to 3" is TRUE then... etc. So, the "boolean" is... -

Python How to scrape quicker
Well, it depends on how you are saving to SQL. It's one thing to dump a lot of data into an SQL file or construct a new one. However, if you are actually inserting rows into a database one at a time (or even in batches) it can take longer than saving to a more local file. The main difference is... -

Python How to scrape quicker
I recommend saving to a different format other than SQL to begin with. Saving each result (if it's different) forces you to check SQL and then insert / update SQL. That can add multiple seconds per result. Personally I save my Python scraping results to CSV and then import to SQL later so that...
