1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

... we can look forward to some stability for the next few years. Whether it is good or bad stability remains to be seen.

Hopefully. But as an official member of the Cynical Old Hector association, I suspect the Tory MPs who want Remain will start squabbling with head office soon ... but this is getting very close to soapbox territory, so I'll stop there.

4. No politics

You are right, but on this occasion I think we may be allowed a little cheer.

I think even those who would have liked a different outcome may need to agree that with a majority there will be more stability.
The last 3+ years has felt like we have been stuck in burning hot treacle.

Grimfist - A World Of Wrath[^]
This is an oldie and not a very well known one, even though it got good reviews at the time.
I was thinking about some music I listened to back in the day and I thought of... What was the name of that band?
For some reason I remembered bands like Ninnghizhidda and Hrossharsgrani, but I couldn't remember Grimfist for the life of me 
All I knew is they had a circular saw on their album cover and they played thrash metal.
"Circular saw album cover" mostly gives you circular saws, adding "metal" somewhere in the search terms isn't doing much good either.
But after a few tweaks I found it 
It's still pretty awesome and it has been on my Spotify playlist since.
SOTW because they're awesome and because it's nice I found them after all those years

These magic love-letters lock you up and are getting you there. (ARTIST: 6,6 SONG TITLE: 6,6,9)
In Word you can only store 2 bytes. That is why I use Writer.

How many letters ? although I doubt it will help

I think we are looking at 33: a song and artist / band

Is this supposed to be a cryptic clue ? or is it one of those infernal themed clues ?

Cryptic, I think - it's not a themed week.
I suspect the clue is the song title, and that should give us the band / artist, but I'm nowhere.
I was trying to work with "Folsom Prison Blues" but that doesn't fit at all.

Well,
Doesn't appear to follow CCC rules. I spent a few minutes looking at it and got nowhere.

I don't think it is following any crossword convention

Yep, this song is the base of many other songs

The artist has 6,6 letters so it is not Michael Jackson, that is 7,7.
Now do the magic!

I am ready to take the challenge. But first could you confirm that your clue follows the Cryptic crossword rules?

magic is a clue or are you too BLIND to SEE it?

I asked a question that requires a Yes or No answer.

Sorry but this isn't a cryptic clue - you can always solve a cryptic clue - this clue requires you to know the artist / song which doesn't follow CCC ( or any other ) crossword convention

I'm way too lazy to do Test Driven Dev. I like immediate satisfaction.
But I'm a fan of dogfooding. For those outside microsoft land that means using the stuff you make for your own real world things before release.
It's a royal pain though, precisely because it is good at driving bugs out of hiding.
Unfortunately, because of the complexity of Slang, any real world project with it is the total house that jack built - there's a half dozen steps to go through before reproducing anything, and sometimes bugs only crop up when i use a slang powered tool as a pre-build step which means no debugger.
I can't tell you how many times now I've had to copy the file contents of my Slang Tokenizer from github because my tool keeps breaking it. meh
Still, better now than later.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

YA THINK?
That's the second time you've now crashed and taken my VIDEO CARD with you.
That's 55 inches of NO SIGNAL fail right in my face.
Forcing me to reboot to a black screen, losing all my unsaved work.
This last time I was in the middle of a broken build.
I got locked into google back when they weren't crappy, and i used their account for everything so now I'm stuck with their browser pretty much.

I'd look at your graphics card / drivers first, rather than Chrome - it's pretty solid for me, I can't even remember the last time it did crash.

My drivers are up to date. This same thing happened over two different driver revisions.
