I went to a car show in Victoria, TX today, and some black dude in a Buick le Sabre drove through the venue, ran over and killed one of the staff, and wrecked two of the cars at the show In the process of trying to get away.

I just looked that up. Holy crap, that's awful.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

The same as always ever since we climbed off the trees. Bigger balls than a brain and a complete meltdown when that combination gets out of control.
Darwin works in many ways to sort out the problem cases, but with a few billions of primates too many on this world, he has to work overtime.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Direct Darwin is just fine by me.
But I don't like Darwin by proxy.

Thanks for the tip, we have the first edition at the office I believe 
And you will have to convince your current employer that .NET technology is superior

I am using Python in my work. Python is very slow and we cannot use multithreading to speed up the work due to global interpreter lock[^]. IronPython and Jython has no such problem.

To VB6 maybe, although I still have nostalgic feelings about that

VB6 was so extremely bad they decided to do a complete new framework

VB6 was so bad, people have been leaving the planet just to get away from it.

But compared to .NET, it was highly performant

I dunno about the book..
But reading the summary is making me investigate System.Numerics.Vectors.
Now I am left wondering if I should rewrite the library I am working on with Vector2 and Matrix3x2 from SNV DLLs. Though the problem is.. missing some operations there...

I've spent most of this morning scanning, checking, and generally trying to work out what's up with my PC - It suddenly when into SHIFT mode, so I couldn't access any lower case characters or numbers once I'd pressed SHIFT once and nothing would unSHIFT it. "Pile of SHIFT", I thought. So, check Sticky Keys - nope. Turn on Sticky Keys. Same thing. Turn off Sticky Keys again. No change. Reboot, power cycle, scan my whole PC for malware and viruses ... nothing.
Finally, reboot to PE from USB for a restore from my last backup. And ... it's the same there.
Odd. Not malware then.
Try my old (as in bought-in-the-nineties-really-cheap for a DX/4 I built) keyboard. Dead as a dodo.
Steal keyboard from Herself's computer. Works fine, provided I unplug my one.
Plug my KB into WookieTab. Same problem.
Weird hardware error on keyboard - once you press either SHIFT, it doesn't notice the release.
Gah! New keyboard time (BWA! I liked that one ...)
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

No wonder your keyboard gave up after all that hammering

Well, I just picked up the new one, and - apart from feeling "weird" because it's new and Microsoft instead of Logitech - it weems to work OK. Feel isn't too bad, but no dedicated "Zoom" keys may be a pain. Ho hum. At least I don't have to SHOUT all the time any more...

It seems to me that new keyboards get worse year after year. Same with mice.
My recommendation: If you find a keyboard you feel is vastly superior to everything else, then immediately get 3 more of them as future replacements. I wish I would've done that with my mouse (the original, plain, simple, 2-button USB MS optical mouse). They're nowhere to be found nowadays, except from the hoarders reselling them on Amazon for $250.
My last one is acting up, and I'm struggling to find a good replacement.

I wish I'd done that with my mouse as well - a Logitech Trackman Wheel - it's buttons have stopped a couple of times, but I took it apart and replaced the duff microswitches. You'll almost certainly find that yours is equally fixable if you are / know a competent PTH solderer, and most of the bits are available on FleaBay, they aren't complicated devices!
But my keyboard? Given the problem is with both shift keys it seems to be internal to the IC, and that's a microcontroller, so I'm elephanted....

So me and the missus watched Beware of Mr. Baker[^] (a documentary about Ginger Baker) last night. She had never heard of him, I said he was the drummer for Cream who was known to be an ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) from time to time. Whoa! is that an understatement! The guy defines "full of piss and vinegar", not often you see someone so vilified and revered at the same time. It was interesting viewing (at least it was for me), but not for someone who doesn't want to hear a steady stream of expletives hurled towards just about everybody (his own family included).
