If you want to support it, and dislike PayPal, you can pay for it on the Windows Store.

As a customer, not a seller, I'm now activelly avoiding Amazon as much as I can. Even if it is inconvenient.

Especially since I read this article about commingling (you need to register (free) to read): https://ftalphaville.ft.com/2019/03/20/1553085361000/Amazon-...

They are now dangerously close to be a monopoly AND a monopsony in way too many markets.

They just don't need to care anymore and it shows.

I can confirm that "The Tor Browser" works perfectly for libgen.

I even get better access (but my ISP is often shitty). I woould not have tried Tor, but for this block.

Yes, but I also think he has the right tone, even if the original question is stupid or badly expressed.

So his answers are good and never condescending and generally newbie friendly.

This makes him popular.

I have a feed reader on his answers and Eric Lippert's for these reasons.

If the vote is before brexit it's 23.88% after brexit it's 27.42%.

One thing I can certainly agree with is the "no horizontal scrolling" beef.

I have a 4K laptop, evan on high res, the lack of horizontal scrolling in Azure portal and other Azure tools is a dailly irritant.

Stop trying to badly emulate Android phone look & feel ... for desktop usage !!!

We are professionals, we can handle scrollbars without screwing up.

Note that this is behind a "developper flag", i.e. it needs elevation if you have not checked "developper mode" in the W10 parameters. (I guess they don't want the cost of supporting ordinary people building circular dependencies)

Thanks.

Ce soir je me coucherai moins bête.

Really usefull trick but not very discoverable.

One of the reason for these sets is mathematics ℜ <> ℝ in a math text (and BTW the math symbols ℂℍℕℙℚℝ in the double strike set are "out of sequence" which can be a nasty surprise if you do naive incrementation.

Then the short answer is :

- Die. In large numbers. Preferably people from the developped world.

- The planet may maybe be able to afford half a billion developped world people.

There is a link to a Bill Gates blog post in the thread, look at it : agriculture (feeding people) is 25% of the CO2 budget, manufacturing+housing is 27%. Basically reducing these means reducing the population. That's the reason why having one less child is the biggest contribution you can do, short of dying.

Any volunteer ?

As a massive POC, I'm happy it happens ... in another company than mine.

Time will tell if it works. If yes prices will go down for everybody.

According to their maintenance postings, RBX was an upgrade problem to the software driver of the optical fiber :

"RBX: We had a problem on the optical network that allows RBX to be connected with the interconnection points we have in Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, London, Brussels. The origin of the problem is a software bug on the optical equipment, which caused the configuration to be lost and the connection to be cut from our site in RBX. We handed over the backup of the software configuration as soon as we diagnosed the source of the problem and the DC can be reached again. The incident on RBX is fixed. With the manufacturer, we are looking for the origin of the software bug and also looking to avoid this kind of critical incident. "
