For zero. Don't show anything. So don't even show the text. Either for a report or a dashboard instead of those values display "No measurements" For one, the calculated values still work. Presumably you also display a count of values.

Hehe! I'm learning .NET 8 and I came across a list of jokes like that on a page of documentation. The reader is left to find it themselves. The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Hell no! If you must put the second conditional for documentation purposes, make it a comment if (cond) ... else // if (!cond) ... or if (cond) ... else // cond ... I've seen that style used for conditional compilation, not so much for braces. #if cond ... #else ... #endif //cond

Configure projects to target platforms - Visual Studio (Windows) | Microsoft Learn[^] An interesting/easy thing to try is building specifically for x86 and x64, testing both. It's a bit weird this isn't inverted. (x64 = AMD instruction sets, afaik - even on Intel chips) Aside that, I think strings being a bit of a special animal is likely playing into this heavily. Also, setting a .Tag to an object (instead of a string) is "weird" but that weirdness may be a figment of my imagination and that may be a perfectly normal thing to do.

lol. No it definitely does not have a USB port either. I know I have at least two computers with parallel ports since I had a old HP Laser Jet that I used for probably 20 years.

I've been doing this for nearly forty years, I have no problem breaking tasks into smaller subtasks. But there is a point of diminishing returns in breaking them down into smaller and smaller chunks just to fit them into an arbitrary unit of time where you spend more time splitting them up than it would take to just do the task itself. There are no solutions, only trade-offs.    - Thomas Sowell A day can really slip by when you're deliberately avoiding what you're supposed to do.    - Calvin (Bill Watterson, Calvin & Hobbes)

In America it's spelled Crappie[^] I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated. I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.
