Tough question. You have cast me into a brood.

Wouldn't such a play be miscast?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

That would be a play by Overeaters Anonymous; you aren't allowed to know who played what part.

Don't go to one seeking clever dialog. It's all just one monolog after another.

I am sure you'll keep us abreast of the situation and not skirt any of the important points.

They rely on tail recursion too much, but I like the way they implemented jump lists.

Every ███████ time I try to go to a blog on Blogspot.com, I get redirected to the Blogspot.de site.
My network blocks "foreign" websites.
And Blogspot isn't the only site that does this nonsense. It happens with Corel and Amazon and Expedia, too. (But at least Amazon and Expedia let me "continue to the US site, instead")
If I type in .com, I expect to go to the .com website, you morons.

I think there is (was?) an option somewhere to avoid "guess target looking at my position / language of windows"
To be honest... don't know if or where.

It's very deliberate, so they can restrict what you see in various countries: legal stuff!
Don't know if it will work, but have you tried this: NoCountryRedirect (NCR) - Chrome Web Store[^]

There's a foreign website (I won't mention ) that redirects me back to the American listing. My work around is to use the Tor browser and go through a European server to access it. I have also used this same method to access American websites when I'm traveling abroad; such as paying bills and whatnot.

Not exactly homework, more like a fine tuning of the fine English language. Here is a passage of the documentation I am writing.
Users who start streaming during the peak hours will be affected. Users who start streaming just before the peak hours will get the the unmodified master playlist and they will thus not be affected.
I find the "they" at the end a bit clunky. But if just write
[...] and will thus not be affected. I am not sure if the sentence remains correct, and clear. I mean "they" refers to the unaffected users, and in the the second case "will" is referring back to the users.
Perhaps both are fine but I wonder. Thanks for any input, and for reading this far.

I would omit "they" as well.

"thus" is replaceable with "so" so:
if you wrote "and will so not be affected" <-- that doesn't sound right does it? ("so wrong" as the kiddies say)
... not saying use "so", just that "thus" is in the wrong place.

I would write
Quote: Players who start streaming just before the peak hours will get the unmodified master playlist and will not be affected. leaving out "they" and "thus".
btw, you have "the the" in your sentence.

|
|
|

I'd agree - "thus" is pretty archaic and not needed in "Normal writing".
