Bomfunk MC's - Back To Back[^]
A blast from the past!
The Finnish Bomfunk MC's had an international hit with Freestyler, back in 1999/2000.
I know they released at least two more music video's, B-Boys & Fly Girls and Super Electric, but they were hardly shown on MTV, at least in the Netherlands.
Super Electric was from their second album, Burnin' Sneakers.
While their first album, In Stereo, was an international hit, Burnin' Sneakers didn't get much international attention.
Maybe because of the CD's DRM protection, which prevented me from listening to it in the car and on some stereo's (luckily that DRM protection didn't become a thing!).
I've listened to In Stereo a lot back in the day, but this week I decided to give Burnin' Sneakers another listen and it has some cool tracks, among which this one which gets me pretty pumped.
Apparently, they stopped after their third album, in 2005, but they're back together since 2018.

From the same year, no less!
It's not really a classic anymore though, as it's living a second youth because of some meme.
I wouldn't be surprised if some youngsters thought this was a new song

With the 240p-ish-ness of that vid, they'd have to be smoking crack to think it is new!

Oh man, that is a nice song!... not just because of Jessica Folcker. 
Added that to my playlist.

Another good one!

Ah well then, since it's friday and were going down that alley you should take a listen to Stakka Bo - Here We Go[^] as well. Probably never made it outside Sweden, but it's having ear worm properties.

It sounds like this lid is a variable revelation! (9)

Discovery ?
DISC + COVER = could be a lid ('sounds like' = using the C twice?)
Y = Variable
DISCOVERY = Relevation

Right answer, wrong solution:
It sounds like this DIS
lid COVER
is a variable Y
revelation!
DISCOVERY
"Dis" is normally used by illiterate teens, who normally follow it with "init". Shoot the lot of 'em, I say! 
Well done - you are up Monday!

I think it's as simple as "dis" sounds like "this", and is also a slang word.
Well done on the solve (assuming it's correct of course)

dis is right, innit?

So I've got VS2019 fired up trying to write a simple program, fool around with it. Honestly, I know MS is trying to help, but there is this process memory window that is very active. I know my program isn't doing anything:snap[^]
Got to be a forehead slapping moment... what does it mean?

Good question, I downloaded VS2019 yesterday (my 1st day of quarantine), created a simple console app, when I run it in the debugger I get 9MB used on that particular graph, I, probably foolishly, attributed the large value to debug information.

That is displaying how much memory your process is using in pseudo-real time. It looked to be about 2MB which is typical for a simple process that has only allocated its stack. Put in a line of code to allocate a few hundred megabytes after a delay of a few hundred milliseconds and see what the graph does. It should be interesting.
-edit-
I find that graph to be amusing but of little value to me so I always close that window. I find memory leaks to be of far more interest to me.

Interesting? Maybe. But to be prevented at all cost! 
I am not wrong. I am just different!

Exactly! I am interested in eliminating them.

No.
Images are allowed only in two forums and the publications (Article, Tip...)
In the rest of the site you have to do it as you did. Upload it to somewhere and post the link here.
