It’s also the worst investment ever - if the same money was invested in solar farms and research, we could have actual world changing energy sources right now.

You can use whatever notation you want for your own work, but documenting with, at least, formal variable definitions would be a significant boon for math literacy.

Thanks. I’d love to see automatic pagination as well so it builds full window columnized “pages”.

Is there a html/css only way to automatically “columnize” text into multiple columns of reasonable width?

Make sure your folders are configured for “general” files and not “photos” or other metadata consuming options. I had a similar issue and this resolved it.

Maybe even coconut palms! /s

Fully agree. A slow skeleton page is worse than a slow spinner. Neither are good. Give me simple HTML!

I had an Abloy Protec2 euro lock on my front door and was happy with the mechanism at first, but it did not last. The lock failed in the locked position after 3 years triggering significant cost to remove the cylinder body from the mortise lock. The drill-out took 5 seconds at most…

I built a similar guitar pedal using a spring tank that mounts under my pedalboard. It’s such a charming effect, with limitations that make it fun to tinker and push.

Are there browser extensions that simply disable all future requests from being sent from the immediate tab?

I think those are very different. .Net 6 (formerly core) is specifically branched to get away from being tied to windows only. In fact the initial versions lacked many of the windows API supports! It is open source and cross platform by design.

C# and .net 6 are not windows-centric.

I don’t see how anyone can have this opinion. If you are producing code for which VS was designed (.net for example) it is obviously and definitely one of the greatest IDEs ever produced. If you are having to fight with VS, then you may not be using it for one of its main use cases. I certainly don’t think it is perfect (git support being quite annoying at times) but to say that it isn’t an incredible achievement is ridiculous.

I’m sure this is not an original theory, but when I saw the device i immediately thought that it may be a tool to sort / check the size of coins. Each size lines up to a known gold or silver piece. The largest hole allows all to be removed easily.

Or, you know, just wire in the doorbell button and be done?

Windows has become truly user hostile, I went back to it several years ago, but have now moved away from it again (wherever possible).

I maintain a similar system, where a variety of companies submit files that get processed through multiple services - it is astounding how ridiculous people’s naming of files can be; spaces are the least concerning!

Definitely need the assembly to ensure that the compiler is producing like for like code.

Thanks kindly - I wish they distilled some of these goals into their fundraising copy.

Perhaps, but if there was ever an ad target that could be categorically labeled as “knowledge seekers” it should be Wikipedia donors.
