The Weird and The Wonderful

OK. That's actually pretty cool. What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Things get complicated when we are not able to understand them clearly. The other possible reason can be Overthinking, which exaggerates a simple situation and makes it appear worse. A person ends up imagining certain situations which in reality won't happen.

Can we make Templates for it? If yes that would be easy.

You were probably talking about PDF libraries with a colleague in microphone range of your phone.

I'm a bit late to this party.... I have learned to export my install config (VS Installer > More > Export Configuration) and export settings (VS IDE > Tools > Import and Export Settings). Especially important when working with the Preview editions. When it is time to do a major update, I tend to Repair, then apply the update. If there are any issues, I can uninstall and use the exported configuration to quickly reinstall, then Import the settings back into the IDE after updating. Flushing an install tends to have less issues after the update. Re-installing things like ReSharper and other extensions, not that I use many, doesn't take long to do.

Another problem is that a MFT sensor is smaller than full-frame format (usual in traditional 35 mm camera's), so the image will be cropped and the lenses will not be used to their full potential.

I forget the exact code, but the byte order mark is easy to check for and skip programmatically. Something like the high bit is set. (I forget the actual details) so you can just check for that, and if you see it, skip that byte and the next. If I got something wrong here, forgive me, it's half remembered from years ago, but the concept is simple enough. Check with a mask, and then skip the mark if the mask is set.

While I can see the value in some corner cases perhaps, I feel like the acceptor, such as a parameter name on a method should describe what it accepts. Maybe it's just because I grew up with that, but putting the units for example, on the data type itself seems just ... unusual, and kind of awkward to me. Maybe that's not the best argument against it, but I place a lot of value on being able to lean on habits, so long as the habits aren't actually counterproductive. All else considered equal, I place more value in doing something in a way that's supported by "muscle memory" than I do on implementing something perhaps in a more formalized way, and the reason is, if you can lean into your habits, as long as you develop decent habits you get less bugs and more productivity.

Actually, that's not a bad thing. Yes, we treat it as case-insensitive, but the original concept had lowercase letters in mind. These days, uppercase is used as a crutch because you have a really long username or domain name, or just are an old fart. :laugh: bob@bob.com - Good bobGoesToTheMarket@bob.com - Bad P.S. They probably should just lowercase it on the backend and allow for mixed cased input though. Jeremy Falcon

JS fiddle is awesome. I use it on the regular, but if you're tinkering with server-side or isomorphic JS it's much, much safer to just run it via node directly on your machine. Even for really simple stuff, its command line interpreter will handle things perfectly. Just as long as you don't need a DOM or styles for your quick and dirty testing. Jeremy Falcon

that's just too funny. I guess he's a bit cranky. I happen to be a bit of an armor historian buff, and the big, bad German tanks of ww2 were mostly junk. Credit to the 88 and the high velocity 75, but reliability is everything. The Tiger 2 and Panther broke down at horrendous rates. The panther's armor was spotty at best with mediocre quality of the armor plate, etc. Kelly's Heroes Tiger Tank - YouTube[^] Reliability was key. So, I appreciate the comment on the complexity of the arty pieces. I just wish some of the defense contractors in the US would learn.

You should add it as a tip In Word you can only store 2 bytes. That is why I use Writer.

May confuse it further by asking: "If each of the cats gives birth to alternately 2 and 3 kitten simultaneously, then how many (cats + kittens) will be in the room". Alternately means that if one cat gives birth to 2 kitten, its neighbouring cat gives birth to 3 kitten, and vice versa. Maybe ChatGPT needs this clarification also.
