https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Statement-Exprs.html This even says "Jumping into a statement expression with goto or using a switch statement outside the statement expression with a case or default label inside the statement expression is not permitted." So I'm guessing it's just undefined behavior from the compiler.

Clang just forgot some error checking when reimplementing a nonstandard extension, presumably because the goal was mostly just to make sure they could compile existing things targetting gcc.

For years on my Thinkpads I have been tolerating the behavior that clicks just do not work sometimes. There's no explanation given for this behavior and Googling just that is of no help. I eventually realized it only ignores clicks right after typing, or while typing. Only after realizing that, plus days more of Googling different things, can one find out that Windows 10 has a "feature" for touchpad-friendliness to disable touch for one second if the keyboard is used. This obviously makes playing games impossible (such as web games, not ones that explicitly take over all controls). You simply can't use the keyboard and mouse together. I make web games, so this has tormented me endlessly as it's always a guessing game as to whether the page got the input I entered or not. The code horror is where I found the solution to turning this behavior off. In Windows 10 you have to find this exact settings page, which gives you these choices: These counter intuitive choices have terrible hidden side effects. If you choose anything besides "Most Sensitive" here, Windows 10 will take that to mean that you obviously want all clicks to be ignored for one second whenever the keyboard is used. Who thought that was a good idea, and how many people have lost productivity from not knowing the true meaning of "Most Sensitive"?

The labeling is terrible, but touch rejection during typing is basically required for larger touchpads for people who rest their hands on the laptop while typing.

There's no explanation given for this behavior and Googling just that is of no help. This reminded me when I tried to disable a hard coded keybind in OSX which is alt+click when switching between windows. What it does is hide the current window and focuses on the one you click on. This gets really annoying when I have maya on the left, and a reference on the right. As maya uses alt click to rotate the 3D model, so naturally I just forget when switching between the two. I'm really curious if there are people out there who know/use alt click for its original purpose. I still haven't found a way to disable it.

As if using COBOL isn't enough you also get to gently caress around with Java deployment descriptors and jQuery v1. edit: The above code doesn't actually do anything, you need to create a WebView from Java, then use jQuery 1 to query the webserver running in COBOL (on Java) to display anything. Also, the tutorial skips all good practices from the last 10 years and uses a version of the Android SDK that hasn't been supported since 2015.

WinFS initially survived the Vista pivot and was going to come out in a post-release service pack, but even with a few more years of work on it they never really got it to a usable state.

I always thought WinFS was a neat idea and I hoped they would get it going. To this day I've never been happy with the various local indexing solutions.

The problem is that Google made all of it irrelevant. Local indexing? Not an issue anymore. Upload it to the cloud and google will be more than happy to index them for you. Global indexing? At your fingertips, just need a web browser.

Yeah, that's what I've been doing for years, but I'd rather it be as easy as searching from the start menu whose search I find lacking. Start key, type, enter...my document opens. Not quite as smooth as that when using Google Drive.

Alternative namings taken from synonyms - ringtail, procyon - and that's where English is not my primary language (I mean there are probably some weird native/regional words for racoon he could have used).
