You can use whatever notation you want for your own work, but documenting with, at least, formal variable definitions would be a significant boon for math literacy.

I had an Abloy Protec2 euro lock on my front door and was happy with the mechanism at first, but it did not last. The lock failed in the locked position after 3 years triggering significant cost to remove the cylinder body from the mortise lock. The drill-out took 5 seconds at most…

I built a similar guitar pedal using a spring tank that mounts under my pedalboard. It’s such a charming effect, with limitations that make it fun to tinker and push.

I think those are very different. .Net 6 (formerly core) is specifically branched to get away from being tied to windows only. In fact the initial versions lacked many of the windows API supports! It is open source and cross platform by design.

I don’t see how anyone can have this opinion. If you are producing code for which VS was designed (.net for example) it is obviously and definitely one of the greatest IDEs ever produced. If you are having to fight with VS, then you may not be using it for one of its main use cases. I certainly don’t think it is perfect (git support being quite annoying at times) but to say that it isn’t an incredible achievement is ridiculous.

Rant: Wikipedia would get my donations easily if they simply included a couple of line items on what they are actually doing to improve Wikipedia! How is Wikipedia’s focus not on building semantic context into their pages? Or adding topical prerequisites? Or any number of meaningful features? Or is their goal to just exist in the present form?

It would be interesting to see how well this could detect non incident sounds - for instance detecting reflective/resonant hotspots in an audio mixing/recording room.

Very wishful, unfortunately. The entire goal of this update is to move windows closer to an AppStore model where MS makes money off of driving the behaviour of its users and monetizing external developers. Even on the server, admins have less and less control over the services running.

This is very true, but also a hugely unfortunate reality. It amazes me that we have reached this far with “object” graph oriented data models backed with relational DBs. They are very seldom conducive to one another.
