A "Beginner" section could take us a long way. Last night I found this and this and attempted to answer. I just have 3 years of experience, so I can only imagine what it's like for you guys. 
I am not the one who knocks. I never knock.
In fact, I hate knocking.

Long time without programming, but is the reason for this because the program exits so fast it does not display anything ?
My dos box used to make a pause before exiting.

Oh yes! This is native code, on a fast enough PC you don't even get to see the console window open...

Just checked in old projects 
When ctrl+F5 to start without debugging, it prompts automatically (code above would dispay hello world)
When F5 not, but usually you have breakpoints in your code - and the indication that nothing showed was a sign that you misplaced your breakpoint in non executed code...

For a complete noob, I can understand his frustration. It is annoying as he__ to have to look up the right 'getch,' or stream overload call every time someone posts code like that, which presents itself as a newbie example. Those who write for newbie's, NOT EVERYONE WILL BE DOING EVERYTHING THROUGH A CONSOLE! Take the time to make sure your code doesn't disappear in the blink of an eye on them!

PB&J Oreos.
That's it. Game over.

 I had to google what PD&J was! I don't think I have ever eaten an oreo.

Is that "they are good" or "eewww! Shoot the inventor"?
If good: nah. Chicken sate at a street stall in Thailand or Malaysia. Oh yes. The Perfect Food - and I exaggerate not, these are better than BACON!
If bad: Meh. Oreos are not even good biscuits (too dry, and too sweet for me) but PB goes well with so many things - including BACON - that it could well improve them.
Mind you, there is now a PB Twix bar[^] which has to set a new low standard for chocolate-biscuit-type-sweeties.

The jury is still out. The best thing I ever had with PB&J was when it was on a burger. That was goooood!
|
|

In a word, ick  .
I love PB&J, in fact it's my favorite post-long-run recovery food. I love Oreo's™, as cookies and milk are my favorite post-work-debacle recovery food.
Mixing the two together... blech.

Happy user of Windows 7, see other Windows 10 rants. This is not a rant, I just despise the default, built in desktop manager Microsoft "included" in Windows 10.
Does anyone know how to turn it off? I want my old manager back.

Care to describe the problem you are having with the desktop manager?

I also don't care for egg plant, if you serve it to me, I will politely skip it. If you insist, I will eat elsewhere.
I've used one virtual desktop manager for 5+ years on Windows 7. I like it, I know all the short cut keys, I understand it's behavior.

The question is of course [The Lounge] If your dog eats your SIM card... (will it get dissolved before it comes out?)[^]
As it turns out, a SIM card can pass through your canine companion without being damaged. After patiently checking the output from your furry friend for a few days before finally locating it like a prize in a box of cereal, taking the SIM card through a rigorous cleaning process and then popping it back in the phone will restore full functionality to your phone.
This does raise a new question: How long does it take before you can look back at this and laugh about it?

Not long at all. I'm laughing about it right now.

One question, one comment.
Q) What was on the SIM card that required retrieval?
C) You need a life.

Not really sure. It is my wife's phone. I had taken the SIM card out because I was replacing the broken screen on her phone.

I have heard about those, but I have a wife, two dogs and a fairly busy job, so that is where most of my time goes.
