I'm not sure if this applies to every language, but at least for C++ it looks like the code theme was designed for a dark background. Particularly the light greens do not show up well against the white. It makes it very hard to read.

I'd suggest darkening the background of the code sections. Something other than blinding white.

Thanks!

I posted about this a week or two ago.

The profile editor will not let me change my username and y'all assigned me the wrong username.

My username is honey the codewitch.

Since i can't change it myself, can you change it?

It's important. It's my brand. It's what people know me by across the internet. I need my content attributed appropriately.

This article, for example is mine
https://main.codeproject.com/articles/Dynamically-Updating-Firmware-from-Arbitrary-Sourc
It says it's by Deeksha Shenoy

PLEASE fix this. I don't know how many articles are affected. This is just what I found when I first hit the site

Yeah this one is strictly drip, although it can do over ice, and a couple of other brew styles. In the drip coffee maker world, it's kinda pricey. As espresso machines go, not so much, but it isn't one.

I've had a Breville. Frankly, I don't like paying for garbage that I end up having to throw away, so I will never buy another. I had a terrible experience with them. Hope yours is better.

So I bought myself a Ninja - and I liked it so much I bought one for my sister and her family. It's not for espresso (though they make those too). I'd offer the model # but it looks like they don't manufacture it anymore. Shame. Still, they sell it on amazon currently: https://www.amazon.com/Ninja-Specialty-Fold-Away-Frother-CM401/dp/B07PFLM2LK

It's expensive. It's also worth it. It's one of those things that's so well engineered that you appreciate it every time you use it.

Groucho became such a fixture at our regular meetings for one project that in his absence people would ask where he was and if he was okay. But also Groucho goes out of his way to be the center of attention and generally impossible to ignore.

Groucho is a a little show off. He likes to catch toy mice, and then strut around with them in his mouth, yowling with his mouth full: "Look at me! Look at me! I'm a ferocious hunter"

Yeah sure, Nimrod. If I was a toy mouse I'd be terrified. He likes an audience and so he has taken a keen interest in interrupting my Teams meetings to the point where I have to preface my presence with a disclaimer about my cat.

@Richard-Andrew-x64 accurate

@kmoorevs I use reddit in doses mostly for technical content - things like r/esp32 and r/embedded are great resources - not as a social media hub, although I have met a couple of online friendos that way.

@Richard-Andrew-x64 It was a very popular post. I posted it around the time CP went dark, and up until it was removed I'd still get a few replies a month

...you won't like the following problem.

The object: Eliminating lazy matches from a regular expression by replacing them with the equivalent greedy expression:
C block comment:
lazy:

/\*(.|\n)*?\*/

vs greedy equivalent:

/\*([^\*]|\*+[^*/])*\*+/

lazy:

f(u|o)*?bar

vs greedy equivalent:

f([^uob]|(u|o)+[^b]|(u|o)*b[^a]|(u|o)*ba[^r])*bar

The thing that will cost me sleep is I can almost see the pattern enough to implement it. Almost doesn't really count though, and that's the frustrating part. May as well be the moon.

I have to second this. It's quite irritating to be logged out periodically and have to click through to log back in, although I guess that cloudfare protection probably contributes to the issue.

And I couldn't be happier about it.

The post was titled "codeproject.com is no more =("

and it was removed as outdated.

the internet rejoices

@Sander-Rossel You got this in my head "Sycophants is on the prowl so I don't need to do laundry
I'll dry myself with paper towels"

It's from a song called Syrup by Aesop Rock, and it's basically about agoraphobia.

Caching is always great to deal with when it comes to debugging. Always so helpful it is, serving out valid, stale requests that don't reflect what is actually happening on the ground.
