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?

Cats and developers have a good deal in common:
They both play with mice;
They both type stuff which is incomprehensible to mere mortals. Or even each other, half the time.

Is it getting harder to buy Advent calendars because their days are numbered?

No, but according to how my chocolate calendar was opened, it should have been Christmas on December 5th...

I suppose, next, you'll post some snippet about the 'feast of the circumcision'?

Scanned 112 episodes and -5320 characters in 9425 milliseconds using 23 bytes of LexContext and 50 bytes of the pool
The file is too big for my little 8-bit arduino, leading the character count to overflow and go negative.
My JSON lib can parse a 200kB file and do complicated queries against it but it can't report where it is in the document.

Have you invented a quantum scanner?
You can know the scan speed or scan position, but not both.

So I posted a question about getting garbage on my serial port on my Arduino after uploading my JSON library to it. I mentioned that it worked on my 64-bit desktop but wasn't working on my 8-bit mega.
And then a moderator basically told me that's not true, and if I was able to write code that would do that I wouldn't be on the forum asking for help in the first place.
When I confronted him about accusing me of lying he denied it.
These forums are rude. This isn't the first time I've seen a sour exchange on there, but it's the first time one was directed at me. My 2nd question.
If you're volunteering your time to be a moderator and you don't like doing it, you should stop. If you're volunteering your time to be a moderator because you like berating people who ask questions of the forum there's something deeper going on.

Are you talking about a CodeProject forum, or something elsewhere?

The Arduino forums. I put it in the title but i could make it clearer in the body

CP has the Lounge, obviously, the Quick Answers section and then many different forums on the left hand side. Although I don't recall seeing an Arduino forum here on CP but that doesn't mean much.

There is an article section though.

Asshats live everywhere - ignore 'em and just move on.
If the visitor count falls away to nothing because the moderators are rude the site will wise up and sack 'em, or it'll close.
Either way, you'll probably end up with a better one rising from the ashes.
I'm pretty surprised that hasn't happened to SO yet ...

What's funny, is I've actually gotten really good results from SO. I've only ever had one question downvoted, and about 75% of the responses were helpful and courteous. I understand they have a bad rep, and it's probably earned, but I guess I've been fortunate.

Have you ever been on electronics.stackexchange.com?
That one is uber rude. I have posted to 15 or 20 different SOs but the electronics one is filled with Geniuses who can only tell you how stupid your question is.
One time I posted a question about why it was that electrolytic type caps seem to have a high voltage ability even though they are small (in capacitance). I received no answer but many attacks and they finally completely deleted my question so that I couldn't even find it again.
Sheesh.
My point here is that Hardware Geniuses are much more mean-spirited than us Software Geniuses.
We are a softer gentler kind, I suppose.
If you are a h/w genius no need to be upset with this, just be kind and prove me wrong.

Quote: 64-bit desktop but wasn't working on my 8-bit mega. That's a brutal move. First try to run it on a STM32 chip then on a PIC24 and eventually goto 8 bit.

I don't have a STM32 chip but I have an ESP32 I ran it on first.
The code survived.
