Threading in javascript?

I have an excel file in a specific location. I want to process the
file and display data in an html page. But there are many users. I
know how to call the excel object in the script and stuff... Won't
there be a problem if two or more people try to access the same file.
To handle this I suppose some elementary threading should do. But I am
not someone who has worked with this idea before. How can I tackle
this problem?

Threading will do nothing to solve an Excel file locking issue.

It's time to move to a real database back-end.

I have been reading a book about the evolution of the Basic programming language. The author states that Basic - particularly Microsoft's version is full of compromises which crept in along the language's 30+ year evolution. What to you think python largest compromises are? The three that come to my mind are significant whitespace, dynamic typing, and that it is interpreted - not compiled. These three put python under fire and cause...

Please excuse the cross-post - I'm pretty sure I've had interest in the article on all the groups this is posted to. I've finally managed to finish my article on multi-threading - at least for the moment. I'd be *very* grateful if people with any interest in multi-threading would read it (even just bits of it - it's somewhat long to go through the whole thing!) to check for accuracy, effectiveness of examples, etc. Feel free to mail...

I am stumped by the following problem. I have a large multi-threaded server accepting communications on one UDP port (chosen for its supposed speed). I have been profiling the code and found that the UDP communication is my biggest drain on performance! Communication where the client and the server are on the same machine still takes 300ms or sometimes much more per packet on an Athlon64 3000+ running Linux (Fedora Core 5 x64). I must...

Below are 2 files that isolate the problem. Note, both programs hang (stop responding) with hyper-threading turned on (a BIOS setting), but work as expected with hyper-threading turned off. Note, the Windows task manager shows 2 CPUs on the Performance tab with hyper-threading is turned on. Both Python 2.3.5 and 2.4.3 (downloaded from python.org) have this problem. The operating system is MS Windows XP Professional.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. 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. The idea...
