Google "great circle distance zip formula". I have the calculation set
up in a user defined function in SQL Server, which has been very
helpful in pulling things like a list of classes local to a user. I
also have a complete list of 42000 plus zip codes, states, counties,
etc gleaned for free off several public sites.

I have a button that, when pressed, shows a context menu that the user is to make a selection from. Right now, I am always showing the menu below the button, but this is...

Hello all, Does anyone know the SQL statement for calculating surrounding suburbs, or can point me in the right direction? I have a database of Australian postal codes and their centroids in longitude and latitude, I'd like to pass it either the long/lat or postal code to calculate from.

I'm looking for code to calculate the distancde (in miles) between two cities. I'm assuming latitude/longitude would be the inputs (which I'll derive from zip codes being entered by the user). While I assume that any code anyone can send me (or link me to) calculates mileage as the crow flies, it would be very cool if I could give miles (even approximate) according to a truck driving between the two locations. Maybe that's a web...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
