once there was an endless expanse of something/nothing - emanation from a force unknown to us.
then that something/nothing was divided.
the division of that something/nothing created our reality.
dividing night from day, earth from sky, energy from matter.
an entire creation through division.
we divide too.
citizen from immigrant
gay from straight
crazy from sane.
happy from sad.
this division is pervasive. We create divisions all the time in little and sometimes big ways.
and they reentangle becoming one again.
the whole of existence a wonderful dance of separation and union, the vibrations of which carve out the dollhouse of reality we find ourselves in.
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.

I divide my if statements and the code it should run with braces, you should try it sometime

divisions eventually reentangle.
braces are an illusion - what matters is right in front of you.

Do you mean literally?
Like my keyboard and monitor are what matter to me?
Or is it more figuratively, like your message is in front of me so you matter to me?
People here are beginning to say strange things, like us flirting and moving in together so I don't know what to believe anymore 
I'm not joining the Area 51 raid so whoever's going to set you free, it won't be me.

Something like that. But also to a lesser extent, your k/b and monitor. Where would you be without them?

Who says I want to be freed? Maybe they have cake.

You are so right.

Some things need to be unsaid a certain way to see the shape that casts the shadow:
we conspired to create a virtual reality,
to build a nest of misunderstanding with
fragments of false memories, bits of woe
and joy veneered with faux rainbow shiny
oh, the beauty of our first egg, mottled
with fires of iridescent gems: a perfect
echo of imperfections erased in a mirror
of self-delusion's simulations of sanity
in this unpixelated bliss we conjured: a,
subject-object dichotomy gave us giggles;
half-dead, half-alive, cats serenaded us
with fugues of quantum entangled screech
ah, wondrous eternity when our first egg
hatches, and, we are chicky's first meal "our first egg," a sonnet: published under the terms of CPOPL (Code Project Open Poetic License) © 2019, Bill Woodruff

After all those complained about W10, I just got the sentence to prepare for it on my work computer...
I understand that not everybody had the bad experience, just that I have no way to know on which side I will land...
I was asking to install Fedora with W10 in VM, but they turned me down...
Crossing fingers... (I try to hold it off)

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

where I work we don't have much problems, we mainly have HP Z240 desktops with NVME ssd's. Very rarely my Dell Ultrasharp screen turns black, but unplugging and plugging it in again helps.

That's my hope too - I have a HP Elitedesk, that should be well supported...

Personally, I wouldn't worry too much. I have access to a total of 10 computers at work and home, all except one running Windows 10 (some Home, some Pro). None of them have had any problems that were traced to the O/S.
I suspect that many (most?) of the problems are dues to either faulty hardware or bad drivers. You know, the same things that caused problems with Windows 95, 98, ME, NT 4, 2000, XT, 7, 8.x …
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

The hardware is perfect...
My real concern are the drivers - missing drivers, that is...
Hope HP will provide them as promised...

My home W10 desktop updated at the weekend without a hitch. Only problem is a non-kosher driver for an obscure mobile phone that I had to install manually as there is no proper driver has stopped working. It might just need another manual install. I have not had any issue with the Windows ecosphere since I built the PC years ago with the first release of W7 and everything since (inc upgrade to W10 in conjunction with moving to SSD) has been done via automated upgrades.
My wife's W10 laptop is a shop/manufacturer (HP) built version of W10 which came pre-installed with 'extras' - that has had no end of problems. Draw your own conclusions.

I was going to get it last Tuesday, which was delayed until Thursday, which was delayed until Friday, which was delayed until tomorrow (Monday).
I'm in the first wave of non-IS users, so will be interesting.

well i learned something about algos today
It took me a lot longer to get the b+ tree going, and i even made it thread safe.
It's not a performer though. It seems my initial conclusion was correct, that a B+ tree is really only good if it's file backed because it limits access to the leaf nodes (where file seeking happens) and it has a forward or double linked list to scan through the leaves sequentially without having to traverse the tree - an optimization of a bplus tree i've found questionable, but it depends on the height of the tree i guess.
So now I'm off to make a thread safe version of Dictionary that will (perhaps) take null keys.
I don't like concurrentdictionary because it doesn't explose IDictionary<tkey,tvalue> but rather a weird one off interface that you can't wrap with IDictionary<tkey,tvalue>
Once I have that I can make a thread safe option for my JSON library.
And once I have that, I can share cache between all threads. Woo. More first order cache hits, less memory usage.

my b-tree actually kind of rocks.
