emale — Sun, 12 Mar 2023 13:57:18 +0800

Ever since I updated to Windows 11, my numlock can't be auto turned on any more.

I tried the registry keys trick, try win-logon section trick, try BIOS numlock ON trick...

I'm exhausted.

How do u enable auto numlock on WINDOWS 11???

PHP parallel processing question.

emale — Sun, 18 Dec 2022 10:27:41 +0800

I need some ideas for parallel programming in PHP.

Say I have 2 or more PHP processes(PID in Linux) executing a CURL function that send an HTTP request to a remote server.

By means of 2 or more PHP processes, there are multiple PHP scripts that executed simultaneously, say "curl_call_1.php", "curl_call_2.php"......so on. Each script will call the same CURL function, just with different arguments, and each script run will create a distinct PID.

All scripts will run at the exact same time that launched from CRONJOB.

It is perfectly fine when I run them one at a time.

But it has strange behavior when running all of them at the same time. The remote server will return unexpected results.

I searched Google, all the solutions are about multi-requests within the same PHP processes, means multi-processes in a single PID(single PHP script) like curl_multi_exec.

What I need is parallel processing with multi-PID.

In other words, run "curl_call_1.php" and "curl_call_2.php" PHP files at the same time, that call the same CURL function.

How do I call a function every minute in a loop

emale — Sun, 13 Nov 2022 09:03:16 +0800

The logic is like that: I have a service that fetches live stream of data from a 3rd party site every second, and I need to check a certain condition every minute with a function call.

A simplified version of my codes:

$timeBegin = time();

while(true){

$timeRun = time();

if($timeRun - $timeBegin >= 60)
{
//call a function here, this is WRONG logic. It executes the boolean condition after 1 minute, then calls the function every second afterward.
}

sleep(1);

}

I can't have another while-loop/sleep inside the if condition, it must be executed every second.

Is it possible to get back my old account?

emale — Tue, 11 Jan 2022 08:09:01 +0800

I have a 10 yrs old Lowyat account with tons of posts count, previously registered with 10-minutes disposable email address, but the recent security update required me to change email address that I no longer have access to, thus I simply ignored it. Now I can't log into the account anymore.

I did try contact helpdesk email but I don't receive any reply. Seems like the helpdesk email is flooded with sea of spams instead.

How do I contact the admin here??
