Windows build works fine (Windows 10 Professional x64 22H2).

The term for this process is "racemization".

I tried the portable install on 64-bit Windows 10 1909 Professional and it didn't work. The cursor was stuck in the upper left hand corner and I never got a command prompt.

Suggested new name: Loud. With respect to colors "loud" has the same positive connotation as "riot" ("loud colors" are rich and vibrant), and it also has the connotation of making one's voice heard.

Another definition for vector is "an organism that transmits a disease". Perhaps this is not the best choice of name during a worldwide pandemic.

Nothing. Many people avoid software versions ending in '.0' because they worry they may be buggy.

You are a bit too aggressive on your trimming: you have trimmed out the chart under the heading "The Right Way to Help Colleagues Excel".

There is a book called "1491" by Charles C. Mann which the parent commenter is probably referring to.

This page is devoid of content except for a single "_" character. (I viewed the page in Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Firefox with identical results.) What am I missing?

The date in the article title is wrong. The eclipse will either be Sunday evening January 20 or early Monday morning January 21, depending on where you are. It is visible in the Americas, British Isles, and in most of those parts of Eurasia north of the Arctic Circle.

Technical info from the IAU: https://www.minorplanetcenter.net/mpec/K18/K18Y14.html . The orbit is highly uncertain but appears to be highly elliptical, with a perihelion inside the orbit of Neptune and an apogee of roughly 1.5 times the current distance.

I have three recommendations no one has mentioned yet:

1) Charles Stross, "The Laundry Files" series and the "Merchant Princes"/"Deep State" series.

2) Craig Alanson's "Expeditionary Force" series. Start with book 1, "Columbus Day".

3) Andy Weir, "The Martian" and "Artemis".

Guido van Rossum just tweeted:

I misread the original post -- it's the latest, not the last. Maybe I was hoping it's the last, but the intention of the team is not to stop supporting it now. Apologies!

Zim Desktop Wiki (http://zim-wiki.org/). It is great note taking application that supports Rich Text features such as bold, italic, checkbox and bullet lists. It also supports Greek letters, subscripts, superscripts, and Unicode, making it very useful for entering mathematical equations.

The binaries don't work for me. When I run as a privileged (admin) user I get:

Some process names may be missing. 0 total zombie processes. No zombies found. Maybe all software is working correctly, but I doubt it. More likely the zombie counting process failed for some reason. Please try again. Pass -verbose to get full zombie names.
