I need to convert an IEEE Single in .NET to the old MBF Single. There is a similar post here but it does the opposite of what I need.

Convert MBF Single and Double to IEEE

I can use either VB.NET (preferred) or C# code.

I have a spreadsheet containing test data. The data are temperature readings at fairly regular intervals. I say "fairly" because the readings are usually at 10 second intervals, but occasionally the test hardware skips a reading or two.
For the purposes of this exercise we can ignore the missing data.

The first reading is at 09:00:00 on 12th May 2016 and the last reading is at 09:10:10 on 20th May 2016. File available to download here:

I would like to find the average temperature at each hour interval.
It would be great if these average values could be inserted in a new column (for example column D).

For example, in cell B361, the time is 09:59:50. The next cell B362 would signify the next hour time segment, so in cell D361 I would like to see the average of the temperature readings from cell C2 to C361 inclusive. Then at the next hour interval cell D718 would show the average of the temperature readings from cell C362 to C718 inclusive.
D1078 would average the cells C719 to C1078, and so on.

Although I don't have any VBA workings to show for myself here, I have been trying various things in excel (for example autofill series formulas) but to no avail. To be honest I don't think I can get my head around the way Excel deals with times to figure this out, let alone translate that into code using my limited VBA skills. I think the fact that the time intervals aren't truly consistent, and the data spans several days, is making this difficult for me to solve.

This is the first time I've posted a question, so apologies if I have disobeyed any rules (I managed to write my debut VBA Excel code without posting a question, although I did consult stackoverflow many times during that process!)

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello all I am building a new web app in the Laravel framework. I am new to Laravel & Blade and I have been stuck setting up my bootstrap template with blade.

It seems that when I yield a section into my main template file my javascript files do not run although I can see them on page inspection.

I also get the following error in my console;

Is the Bot Framework deployed in any particular region? I want to avoid any unnecessary latency when connecting my app service with the MBF, and if the MBF is only hosted in 1 region, North Europe for example, then I would also deploy my app service in North Europe.

I'm experimenting with Mapped Byte Buffer (Java), I have to use DirectBuffer on a file to perform some arithmetic operations:

we are updating our MBF bot to have its state managed in Azure Table Store. We changed code according to documentation to register our Table store provider:

I am writing a program allowing the user to enter a 3 digit phone number and when they enter it, the program will return every combination of 3 letters put together (based on the letters each digit contains). Most phone digits have letters in it. For example, if the user types 6, 2, and 3, it should return the following:

I want to draw direction with waypoits based on the result of google direction Api, From this URL I want to parse the response and draw the route on the google map.

From the result I am taking the value of "routes" -> "overview_polyline"-> "points" to deaw the line, I am having "points" value as

Question: How can I resolve executables disappearing sometimes during batch processing scripts?

Background: I have a series of scripts designed to parse xyz elevation data, partition into grids, merge and interpolate this data using tools like mbgrid and gmt surface. These can be called on manually, but generally run as scheduled tasks using configuration files specifying things like grid size, cell resolution and directory structures.

These scripts are written in python, using multiprocessing and making system calls with subprocess.

Problem: Sometimes, I get situations where commands are not found (e.g. cat 180E48S_mbgrid_output.log /bin/sh: 1: mbgrid: not found)

Since these scripts are called via cron with a configuration file, I would expect consistent results. Most of the time (and it seems always when I'm watching, even if I just run the script cron initiates), the code runs successfully to completion. But sometimes not.

Below is a snippet of a log file showing mbgrid not found (bolded), followed by a successful run. And then another instance of mbgrid not found before another successful run.

grep '/bin/sh: 1: mbgrid: not found' 22E59N_mbgrid_output.log -B 10 -A 10

Steps taken: When I first encountered this, I associated it with some particularly large and dense grids. I quickly saw that I had 10 processes, each of which wanted 20% of ram. Turning down the number of processes seemed to solve this issue.

However, I've been seeing this occur even when it doesn't look like memory pressure has been a concern, but I may be missing something in my system monitoring.

I have set up sar monitoring, to grab system stats every few minutes. I have also set up a cron to grab some of the top stats every 5 minutes. I don't really see anything in these that would cause linux to be so resource starved that it would fail to find executables. I'll put those at the bottom as this is already rather long.

I've tried adding some logging diagnostics to spot the problem.

Here is a snippet of code that checks for mbgrid's existence and then, if found, logs the exact command that is being run:
