I'm looking for a solution to zip up a large amount of files (around 45GB collectively) without storing them in memory, I've been looking for nodejs libraries to do this, but none seem to have this feature.



All the files are stored in a single directory.






node.js

          It is not possible to do it without using computer's memory, but you can limit the amount of memory required for operation, using NodeJS buffers and steams. This concept is essential for good performance in NodeJS and it is not limited only to reading files and creating archives, but I won't go into details.



          Here are two NPM packages which will help you with your issue:

                    2 I'm trying to set the .DisplayMember property of a ComboBox in C#, but I want to bind it to multiple columns in the .DataSouce . My SQL looks like this: SELECT PersNbr, PersFirstName, PersMiddleName, PersLastName FROM Pers WHERE PersNbr = :persNbr; I'm saving this query in a DataTable so each column selected has it's own column in the Datatable . I want to make the .DisplayMember a combination of PersFirstName + PersMiddleName + PersLastName so their full name appears like this: comboBox.DisplayMemeber = "PersFirstName" + "PersMiddleName" + "PersLastName" I know I can just to this on the query: SELECT PersNbr, (PersFirstName || PersMiddleName || PersLastName) PersName and then just do this: comboBox.DisplayMember = "PersName"; but I

                    Is it possible to collect Nectar points via Trainline?

                    Image
                    2 Since I am not eligible for any Railcard, the only available discount/bonus scheme is Nectar Card for me. GWR, SWR, LNER and Virgin Trains allow to collect Nectar points and I have already linked a card to my GWR account. A friend suggested me to use Trainline App, because it can search for bus tickets either. I had a look at the application, but could not see any option for Nectar. Is there a way to collect Nectar points when I buy tickets via Trainline? uk trains loyalty-programs trainline share | improve this question asked Dec 2 '18 at 15:50 ahmedus 3,224 5 19 49
