Would love to see the sequence of languages it was translated in to arrive to those results...y'know, for verification purposes.

Meh. Try it with some of Jon Anderson's lyrics, circa Close to the Edge.

I see... It means I worked double... which is probably good, thinking of the 'well-documented' part...

Yeah - we've had a couple in moderation where the entire thing was the Github link and a sentence that pretty much just said "i made this".

I'm looking for a simple, but reliable circular saw...
Was thinking of the SKIL 5280-01 15-Amp 7-1/4-Inch Circular Saw with Single Beam Laser Guide...
After searching for it on Amazon got this an offer for BLACK+DECKER 7-1/4-Inch Circular Saw with Laser, 13-Amp...
These are really the same category? If so why the prize difference?
Any suggestions about theses or any other?

I looked at a lot of lists of 'Best...', and dropped the DeWalt because it labeled professional, and it seems to me waste to add for value (a $40-$50 to add) I probably never need...

I stopped buying "cheap" power tools a long time ago, partly because I bought a compressor so I buy air tools instead, but mostly because buying the expensive ones works out cheaper in the long run.
I also prefer to buy "Industrial" equipment rather than consumer where I can - it's designed to do the job for longer instead of being replaced every couple of years. And because it's meant to last in an industrial setting it works forever under the light loads in a domestic environment.

I see your point here...
There are a few problems... The local options are very poor (they import only tool with a large profit margin, so we have to most minimalist tools for full prize or very expensive professional tools). Technically there is no air tools - again only for very high prize...
So I have to import myself, which doubles the prize (half for the tool and half for the delivery/custom). There is a point where the prize+deliver+custom will be so high that it renders the whole thing irrelevant (custom prizes are a grow with the original prize)...
So I have to look very carefully what to pick, and for that I look for something that not labeled professional - therefor cheaper - but still pretty good...
(It was the same with a DeWalt screwdriver and Makita jigsaw, both with me 8 and 10 years respectively)

I mostly agree with Griff, but I understand your point.
Tools come in roughly 4 categories. (mind that these categories glide into each other, so this is definitely not science)
Home use: like Black&Decker. This is crap and should be avoided. Not even meant to last.
Semi pro and Professional: Usually features the same brands (with the exception of DeWalt, Festtool and Milwaukee for example, they don't feature anything cheaper)
But if you buy Makita, Hitachi, Metabo and similar you probably won't be disappointed. Watch out for Bosch, their green tools are crap for home use. Their blue tools are supposedly professional, but they're also unreliable.
Heavy duty professional: This is the category where you usually haven't even heard about the brands, such as Atlas Copco. This is what they buy in factories where a broken tool is stopping up a whole line and thereby cost a fortune.
I have a Hitachi myself, and it just works.
Do consider putting in a few extra bucks on a plunge saw (also known as a track saw). They can do everything a circular saw can, but are safer and can do more.

I've had Black & Decker drill and circular saw. They didn't last long before the bearings wore out, and were useless if not worse because of the work that was ruined. DeWalt may cost a little more, but it saves money in the long run.

Having owned various power tools over the years from both Skil (/Sher) and B&D, I'd definitely go with Skil.
I still have and regularly use my 51+ year old Sher drill, and a somewhat less ancient circular saw.

I've been buying Milwuakee 18V tools unless I think mains powered is required.
I have a drill driver, impact driver, reciprocating saw and torch that are 18v cordless. I have a rotary hammer drill for masonary and am eyeing off a cordless jigsaw and a 235mm mains powered circular saw.
Cause you never klnow when you may need to up the power in your IT world. Plus I work for myself and in the past month have used most of these tools to get stuff done.
The hammer drill and reciprocating saw were used for the first time in their almost 3 year existance and today I pulled out the Dremel (4200) and used it for the first time, reckon it's 3 years old too.
