Creating user should be done be user postgres. If u want to create user from the root account u should create it first using postgres account.

I'm just learning C#. I'm writing a program (using Visual C# 2005 on WinXP) to combine several files into one (HKSplit is a popular freeware program that does this, but it requires all input and output to be within one directory, and I want to be able to combine files from different directories into another directory of my choice). My program seems to work fine, but I'm wondering about this loop: for (int i = 0; i < numFiles; i++)

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

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.
