VS can be annoying at times. I really like using VSCode any time I can -- especially since I've moved to Linux and can't run VS.

    Behing honest... I don't know for sure. I have nothing to do with active websites, so I didn't read the actual law. But I think it is something in the line of "You may not save information of an user without permission", so the only way to cope with that was the dumb banners popping up all around and "asking". And making legitime technical cookies to grow up a bunch of % points M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

    I feel as though your post completely validates the way I feel when it comes to the dumpster fire that is infamously known as "Outlook". My Post About Microsoft Outlook[^] I now now use the term "Outlook" as a four-letter word. Hey, Microsoft, go outlook yourself with a spoon. :mad:

    Last night I logged in to my Outlook email. I found myself mumbling curse words under my breath after several malfunctioning login attempts. After about 5 minutes, I managed to log in and I was met with the MS Outlook UI. It's astounding to me that anyone could possibly create such a dysfunctional, counter-intuitive, UI train wreck of binary trash that resembles the absolute epitome of a dumpster fire. I feel your pain.

    Richard Andrew x64 wrote: So I must implement a UI for creating and editing rules in my new ad blocker application. I imagine it being like the rules editor in Outlook, if you're familiar with that one. You're able to manipulate events, actions and conditions in a generic way to build complete rules that determine what Outlook does with your mail. A while back, I was studying AI, and stumbled across Baysian Theory - Google Search[^]. From what I understand, Bayesian Theory is the primary means by which spam email is identified and filtered out from legit email. I know that both Google's Gmail and Microsoft's Outlook use Bayesian Theory. Based on what emails I see in my inbox versus the spam folder, I'm convinced that it works very well. You can use both rules, and Bayesian Theory together to get the best results. Richard Andrew x64 wrote: I've been thinking a lot about design, and I must conclude that this will be fairly challenging for me. It's the most complex UI that I've had to build to this point. My knowledge of Baseyain Theory is quite limited, but I get the feeling that implementing it into your system will be more complex than designing the complex UI that you're speaking of. I wish you the best of luck in this challenge. Keep me posted on how things go, as this subject matter is of interest to me as well. :thumbsup:

    Probably because it accurately computes the angle I'm looking for. I'm not sure your code does. Edit: I see it now. I literally copied and pasted these sections of code and modified. That's why.
