If COVID-19 and your president continue as they are in NY, then it's going to have a pretty small population soon ... :GloomyPrognosisSmiley:

So you don't have a president where you live?
The Scandinavian countries and GB still have kings, and a few more, mostly outside the Western countries.
But I must admit: I had to look up the name of your president. And honestly, the name didn't ring that many bells. I hope that you do not have to look it up, though.

In Germany only president.
But, if you see the "subthread":
- I asked if New York is for him a little city
- He answered that if it virus and my president continue like that it will
- I think he confused me with the OP, so I make the joke of giving coffee and asking "since when am I a US-Citizen?" because I am not and he knows it (or I thought he knew), and nothing that my president (spanish or german) does will have that big effect in the end size of new york.

I just wanted to point out that you both made the same mistake:
He assumed you were American
You assumed that he by "president" assumed the US president.
I am quite sure that he did, but he didn't say so, and you were jut as preconcieved about the nationality of the president as he was about the nationality of Nelek.

If it wasn't like that, then my non native speaker status has played with me because I didn't understand it correctly

There was a US "spokesperson" on BBC Breakfast News on Friday looking really quite proud as he boasted "The US leads the world in Covid-19 infections".
Let's hope not.

We've got so few where I am that we're having to import them.
I'm not kidding. There are helicopters flying past every (subjective) five minutes, ferrying patients into our green and pleasant, previously-uninfected land.

I'm sick of Internet browsers that close themselves when you close all tabs.
Do word processors do this? PDF readers? Any other apps with tabbed interfaces?
And wouldn't it be fun if VS shut down, just because you closed a project?
Leave the window open, you pillocks!

Indeed. All applications should open to an empty environment and then let you open things or not.

What I liked about that was that it was easy to find the option to kill it.

Keeping the window open is not an optional "feature" in all of them.

What? Don't close all tabs? Don't use a browser? Don't use a computer? Don't breathe?
None of the above solves the problem. If you don't understand what the problem is, don't pretend to have the solution.

Leave the last tab open. Or press Ctrl+T for a new tab and close the existing.
Or heck, write your own browser.

As I said, that does not solve the problem.
Didn't you learn to read the question properly, before starting to write an answer?
Following your method, total nuclear war that kills every living thing on Earth is a solution to the problem of people dying from the coronavirus.

I really don't have any big troubles with this issue - but now that I think of it...
Why do we have this concept of moving an object into a window for handling it? Why don't we simply execute the program, or look at the document, or whatever, right there where it resides? In the old days, before computers, you never moved a book into a reader. If you made notes on a pad (of paper), you didn't move it into a writer. Maybe you put the pad on your desktop, but there wasn't any "window" that existed before and after to put it into.
Some pre-PC electronic things did need a box, like a telephone. But when you put the receiver back on-hook after a conversation, the phone had no function; it didn't stay open for you to do something else with it. Conceptually, the phone didn't have any function by itself; if you conversation partner had been in the same room, you could have had exactly the same conversation without using the phone. So what is it there for? It is just that we have to use something to help us of we are too far apart, but the best would be to manage without it.
So it is with the window as well. If we cold just handle the program or document or whatever by itself, get rid of that window frame, wouldn't that be much better? Would you really prefer to have your documents on microfiche cards so you can't read them without turning that huge microfiche reader on, fit the card in the holder, and navigating to the image of the page you want to read, rather than reading the physical document?
The old MDI - Multiple Document Interface - certainly was no long-lasting success. MS Office switched to a model where each document lives by itself on the desktop, at least graphically. But not internally! You can't run one (stateful) dialog in one document and another one in another document; you have to complete the dialog with one document before you can talk to the other. That really annoys me much more. Lots of other state info is shared between conceptually different documents.
Tabs was sort of a successor to MDI, but you can't see two documents side-by-side in the tab model. But some systems, such as Notepad++, lets you pull a tabcard out of the pile - and then it runs completely separately, without sharing state with the others. Pulling a tab out of the stack has become common in web browsers as well, but I believe that the common way of handling it is still keep significant state info in a common root process; even the tab pulled out is run as a subprocess of the same root as the other tabs. I wish it would be a fully independent process, similar to the Notepad++ solution.
If done properly I would prefer each object to be managed on the desktop line a physical desktop. I don't see why I should have empty window frames (or photo frames) laying around on my office desk. So why should I want than on my PC desktop?
