Recover Exchange Server Email Database

This is where reputable email marketing companies that specialise in Email Database data rental steps in. Renting another company's data means that you will gain short and limited access to their database where their subscribers have opted in to receive material from companies like you. [b][b][

Question about algorithm.upperBound

Yes, this is a known documentation error which has been fixed in the development version. Here is the doc for the function in this version: > Returns the index of the first element in `a` that is greater than `key`, or > last if no such element is found.

Question about algorithm.upperBound

The docs of `algorithm.upperBound` says > Returns a position to the **first element** in the a that is not less (i.e. > greater or equal to) than key, or last if no such element is found. In the example below the found upper bound for element 3 going to be 5, [play](https://play.nim-lang.org/#i

How to use memory leak detection tools on Windows with --gc:arc and -d:useMalloc?

Hey guys, I'm using `--gc:arc` and `-d:useMalloc`, but I'm getting memory leak warnings with `crtdbg.h`: proc setCrtDbgMemFlags() {.header:"#include \n#include " importcpp:"_CrtSetDbgFlag(_CRTDBG_ALLOC_MEM_DF | _CRTDBG_LEAK_CHECK_DF)".} template enableMemLeakL

A side though about compiled vs interpreted. I find this distinction compiled vs non compiled - it's the least important feature of the language. Important features are speed, startup speed, correctness, distribution channels etc. As for this compiled / interpreted / vm it's just some internal d

nim-1.4.6_x64.zip/bin/nimble.exe reports as Trojan:Win32/Zpevdo.B

I have the same problem actually. It's incredibly annoying. Is there really no way to connect with anti virus bigwigs to mark this as a false flag

That isn't true for bigger repos. They get tons of spam. That's why they changed the rules last year

Is the packages repo participating? I kinda want to push Futhark to Nimble :)

That's not a big issue anyway - just close the PR and mark it as `invalid`. If a person has two of their PRs marked as invalid they're disqualified from Hacktoberfest.

nim js Geolocation API

Didn't know about standardjs. Nice to see the indexeddb there. No git repo yet. I guess more specifically, I'm wondering if there is a better way to handle the Navigator and geolocation object in the code above. `std/dom` has Navigator implemented but no geolocation.

Show Nim: Use Nim code from other languages (genny + pixie-python)

What most languages (Nim included) out there look for is a UI library that creates native UIs but is easily wrappable. Such a UI library written in Nim would potentially invite many new Nim contributors.

nim js Geolocation API

Slightly unrelated, but it would be great to have this in either or when its finished! Do you have a git repo?

nim js Geolocation API

The code below works, but I'm wondering where things could be improved. I'm attempting to wrap the Geolocation API and would greatly appreciate any suggestions. import jsffi type GPError* = enum PERMISSION_DENIED = 1 POSITION_UNAVAILBLE = 2 TIM

nimx question

I'm guessing it's your Scoop install that hasn't set up nimble correctly, or some other such issue. And how did you try to compile the sample? The `nake` step of the build process is to build all the samples and such I believe.

Show Nim: Use Nim code from other languages (genny + pixie-python)

Ah I see, seems like a solid system. Just out of curiosity, does it support generics or overloads?
