I had intractable, but could not figure out either the tract or the able parts. leaving out 500 for D OMIT

Is this because windows is using it as virtual memory to save writes to the NVMe drive? That would at least make some sense, even if it is not quite what you want.

I would prefer option 1. I would be more concerned about having the checkbox in the Settings form and the item being enabled/disabled on a tab in another form. What is the user going to think when they are in the Alarms tab and see a disabled section? Probably 'why is this disabled, I want to edit it.' Try not to make the user navigate away to the Settings form. Does it make sense to have the checkbox (or a duplicate) on the Alarms tab? At the least you need some way to indicate to the user why they can not access those controls. Users do not read manuals. Make things that the user is likely to do easy to do.

...and now I am seeing trouble.

Just switch everyone to Newtons and be done with it.

Here is my stab with a rusty spoon (i.e. a very bad analogy based on the link you provided) Particles are like boats on a flat lake, the 2D surface of the lake representing our 3D universe. Without an anchor (massless objects) they go racing about the lake, as the current directs them. If they have mass then they have an anchor hanging down into the lake. This will not simply hang down, as the water is not thick enough, but will swing back and forth like a pendulum. This will cause the boat to oscillate and that will cause ripples. (Just about everything in the analogy is wrong, I'm afraid, but I was trying to emphasize the role the anchor plays and how something can be stationary and still cause ripples.)

Would changing the fan on the original system be possible? It might be a cheap option.

The objective 'maximise human happiness' could go horribly wrong too. That could result in humans being battery farmed to maximise the population. How often have people said 'the happiest day of my life is when my son was born' Nothing in 'maximise human happiness' says there can not be pain, misery and suffering too.

They have not heard of the word favoured (favored in US)?

Ah, sorry, I completely misread your original post. I would guess the error/warning is because you can not guarantee the sizes of long and float will be the same between C++ implementations. Just a stab in the dark though, and it seems like a strange error for that.

Ah, the fast inverse square root. Mind boggling code, I have not spent the time trying to work out how it works. Without the code they commented then y would very likely have a terrible guesstimate and the function would be inaccurate, so y has not been 'initialised' with a good first guess. Weak definition of initialised, but some grain of logic there.

Hmm, localhost is not technically a domain name, so I guess that is why it is elephanting when trying to resolve a sub domain from it. Two things I can think of to try: 1. use sub.127.0.0.1:1234 (or possibly sub."127.0.0.1":1234 2. add sub.localhost to your hosts file. (pointing to 127.0.0.1 or localhost) Good luck

Probably all the LLMs collecting source material :laugh:

What I read into this: If you order a LLM to babble, it will babble. Took them a long time to say nothing. Nothing to see here...

Aren't TLB files generated from DLL files? It might be easier to find to original DLL and generate a new TLB file. Best of luck in your VB6 'adventure'

Surely if you pointed a telescope at a star with a Dyson sphere then it would not be emitting any detectable radiation. Much like Dark Matter. Wait... so that is what dark matter is? :-)

One web site that seems to do something like that: plot sin(x y) - Wolfram|Alpha[^] And one that does not (quite manage it), but is interesting. mathsisfun.com (Equation Grapher)[^]

You could have simply indented the # lines instead of deleting them. Hashdent is bad formatting in my opinion.

Is this why I have great wifi in the kitchen?

Worrying, but not an argument against open source. Backdoors in closed source software are only discovered when they are in use.
