Looking at the C++/MFC code, all I can say is, OMG, C#/.NET is a vast improvement.

Oh the irony. Last year a radio station asked the following question and gave away 50000 bucks for the right answer.
Here is a link to their website, sorry, in German only: Link[^]
I heard it while driving to work. The lady they called did not know the answer. This was the question:
Quote: What was the holiday job of 17-year-old Albert Einstein at the Oktoberfest in Munich?
And the correct answer would have been:
Quote: For two weeks, Albert Einstein assisted as electrician on the Oktoberfest and screwed in hundreds of light bulbs.
Hundreds of bulbs? one Einstein? So I guess we really need relatively few Einsteins. A few thousandths Einstein per bulb.

Indeed. Perhaps I should get myself some new glasses.

GitHub is for code dumps. Articles are meant to teach something. So my guess is that they felt it was insufficient to be called an article.

This is an old question that pretty much always gets the same answer... suck it up and ignore. You can't legislate for how other people see your 'article'.
Talking of which, it really isn't sufficient to be an article; a tip or blog post at best. What you should do is check to see what other people do and emulate that; great examples are the grand masters, Sasha Barber or Marc Clifton.
If you can get an article even half way close to their standard you'll be doing ok.

Thanks for that. LOL, you guys are teaching me patience.
I updated the article to include all those missing things like code and an explanation.
Cheers!

Better than arrogance I suppose.

If the article now gathers sufficient higher votes that "1" will be detected as "bucking the trend" and will be automatically removed anyway.
That's what happened on my (only  ) article when someone sought "revenge" for a comment I made

Relatively few.

Surely Albert would be clever enough to realise that dark-suckers[^] don't screw directly into the ceiling?

Is this a trick question? I'd screw a lightbulb in a socket rather than directly in the ceiling, but maybe that's just me...

Very good! Always good to hear that there are now ways to repair an injury that was untreatable before. But:
Quote: The experimental procedure did not guarantee any restoration to Kris’s paralysis, but to him, the risk was worth taking.
What risk? It can't possibly get even worse.

Well, it could have potentially disrupted his autonomic nervous system leading to possible organ disruption or failure with death being a distinct possibility. If I were in a similar state, death wouldn't seem like much of a risk to regain some facet of control over my life.

They're using embryonic stem cells, so a different genome which AFAIK puts it on par with a direct organ transplant in terms of needing immunosuppressors for life, and with them mixed in with the rest of his spine cthulu knows what a rejection would look like.
In similar circumstances it's a risk I'd probably take; but it could have failed to give any benefit and end up killing him faster than doing nothing would have.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
