The risk here is that you end up partially removing the older version, and failing to install the new one. Then you have two problems on your hands - getting the original reinstalled, and solving its license problem.

I didn't bring it up, but that's exactly what I was thinking. Checkpoint, tinker with it all you need, if it works, re-merge to make it the latest, otherwise roll back.

A colleague once installed the wrong version of VS on a fresh Windows version. Once he saw the uninstall (lack of) progress indicator he did the smart thing and wiped the disk and reinstalled Windows.

Back when I was a teenager, I would mentor other people on how to code. I still do some of that online, but it's not the same as living with your buddy and coding together. That kind of collaboration spurs inspiration and can make both parties better coders. It did in my case.
Contributing to a very active project, especially one that gets as much play as LVGL is similarly satisfying despite being all online. GitHub is nice in that it's an all in one collaboration tool if you use it properly and it kind of removes the typical barriers one might face trying to code together. Not quite the same as AnyDesk and a phone, or an in person collab, but close.
I kinda wish my projects got more play. My graphics library is somewhat popular, but I have only one contributor, and he works on the website exclusively.

I agree with the satisfying aspect you mention, having written several Arduino libraries, I also recognize the contributor effect. The number of contributors is not high, still I find them very valuable as they add functionality. Most important imho are the people who take the time to report bugs or unexpected effects that I have missed (or skipped). Their fixes and insights are very much appreciated as they save a lot of time in investigating.
In short, people who open issues are imho also contributors.
How do you look at them?

Recently was reported an air miss at Reagan Airport and one of the factors is Intersecting Runways at that airport. A number of airports across the world have intersecting runways, while a number of them have parallel runways.
As a passenger I am blissfully unaware, or not bothered about my flights taking off or landing on such an intersecting runway, and whether my flight would experience such an near miss.
Any thoughts on the alertness of air traffic controllers in airports having intersecting runways against those with parallel runways? Any other important aspects?

Runways are designed taking into account prevailing wind directions.
Wind doesn’t always blow in the same direction, so the two most common directions are chosen for alignment of the runways.
Hence you get intersecting runways.
It is the job of the air traffic and ground traffic controllers at the airport to ensure that planes don’t come close to each other on the taxiways and runways.
They do an excellent job and that is why you rarely hear of planes running into each other.
The possibility exists that communication between the controller and the pilots in planes are distorted by static or external factors such as pilots being too busy and not paying sufficient attention to the radio. This is why both pilots and controllers are required to repeat what they hear and not just reply ‘ok’ or ‘Roger’ or ‘understood’. Pilots also need to identify their aircraft by the airline and flight number each time they have a conversation with the controller so that the controller can be sure that his instructions have been heard by the pilot to whom they are addressed.
But in case the pilots are battling a sudden unforeseen emergency, such as a bird strike or loss of engine power or unexpected wind shear, it is entirely possible their attention to radio communication is reduced and then incidents/accidents happen.

Thanks very much for the detailed answer.

To add to Vivi's detailed answer, when there are parallel runways, one is usually being used for take-offs and the other for landings. Intersecting runways usually mean a lack of space. When there are two (or even three) runways serving different directions, they usually meet close to their apexes, forming either a V or a triangle.

The animation is scary. Lucky escape for all passengers.
The Delta speed was such that brakes were really effective in stopping it.

The Tenerife disaster, from the info I get, was on a single runway, where the one which landed was just about to turn into the taxiway, whereas the other was taking off, and it was a dense fog scenario.
|
|
|

|
But it was all down to human error, one pilot thinking he had been cleared for take-off. There was also 1976 Zagreb mid-air collision - Wikipedia[^] when an air traffic controller forgot about one aircraft's postion.
