1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

I think I'm jumping guns here and look at things that are too advanced and I'm always missing some steps and that blocks me.
What would be a proper course progress ?
html -> css -> javascript/typescript (?) -> react/angular/vue (?) -> asp.net core (?) -> database (?) -> ..
Am I missing anything obvious ?
unless really necessary, I don't care about look and feel of the final results as long as it work, so I only need basic html and css.
I think I should probably do a good javascript course as it seems to be the big technology that everything else is based on (more or less).
Thanks.

Could an alien mothership be hovering around the solar system, sending out tiny probes to explore planets? According to a Harvard scientist and a Pentagon official, it’s possible.
In a draft paper, the pair said it is feasible an extraterrestrial spaceship could be in our galactic neighborhood, exploring the region by the means of "dandelion seeds" — small spacecraft that can gather and send back information, similar to the way humans send out spacecraft to explore planets.
Avi Loeb, an astronomer at Harvard University, and Sean M. Kirkpatrick, director of the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) — established in July 2022 by the Department of Defense (DoD) to detect and study "objects of interest" — released the draft, Physical Constraints on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, on March 7. It is not an official Pentagon document, but was carried out in partnership with the DoD. It has not been peer-reviewed.
This was posted in a forum I haunt by somebody - it comes from LiveScience.
I responded:

On its face, the two statements above aren't really saying anything except "maybe there are aliens". That's the History Channel game.
> It has not been peer-reviewed.
This is very important. It's not science without peer-review. It may as well be astrology.
This is just a fluff piece on some junk science.
I used to blame the journos for their ignorance about science and their rush to get clicks and attention for perpetuating this kind of thing.
But eventually I realized that really, it's our responsibility to be mindful of what we take into our minds in the same way that it applies with our bodies.
The reason this stuff gets spread around - the reason journos keep getting clicks for it in the first place - is a dearth of critical thinking skills.
Is it any surprise then, that conspiracy theories about on the Internet, and that that bleeds over into our reality? QAnon, et al.
In some western European countries they teach critical thinking in the classroom while kids are still young. It floors me that we don't do that in school where I live. It seems so fundamental to thinking.
Otherwise you just glom onto whatever affirms you or makes you feel good.

My post was about critical thinking. I won't apologize for taking the position I have on it.
If it's boring, maybe skip my posts. I'm not sure you've considered that, so maybe the suggestion will be helpful.
Edit: Adding, your post reeks of self-affirmation. It sounds to me like you really want to believe you're especially clever or insightful in that you're hip to special knowledge most people aren't privy to. They're following an "approved narrative" and don't question authority, but you do  . That's how people get hooked on conspiracies. It makes them feel important and smart.

They seem more fixated on teaching gender theory these days.

Whatever they're doing, Western Europe's schools perform far better than the ones in my country.

people don't want facts they want sensationalism.
facts are boring and require logical thoughtful deliberation.
Who wants to use their brains in our current society? I can't think of too many people who do.

> Who wants to use their brains in our current society?
I think of the response among people to the "Spanish" Flu Pandemic in the early 20th century, as well as the response to smallpox vaccinations among some of the adult population and I think there's always been an undercurrent of intellectual laziness among a population of any size. Maybe the Internet made it worse. I don't know.

I think they're more in interested in Hoth. They already know there's no intelligent live here.

It is feasible that a dragon in another dimension is using small pixies to explore our solar system.
I actually give that a higher probability that the prior one because the prior one is limited by the physics (and economics) of this universe while mine is not.
But I certainly will not be spending time looking or even thinking about either.

So, I have two NVMe SSDs in my machine: One for the system and applications (C:\), and one that holds only data (D:\). Both were 1 TB drives, but the D:\ drive was rapidly running out of capacity. So I bought a 2 TB Samsung to replace the D:\ drive.
This left me with a spare 1 TB Samsung 850 PRO drive with an integral heatsink - A very good drive. I decided to move the contents of the system drive to the spare 850 with a view to replace the existing C: drive. Now, I suppose the usual approach would be to clone the system to the replacement SSD, but I tried a different approach:
Using Powershell / Diskpart I ran the "Clean" command on the 850. Then I used Diskpart to convert the drive to gpt. That was all the preparation I did. I did not create any partitions on the drive. It was totally bare bones. Then I took the last Macrium Reflect image of the old C:\ drive and restored it to the blank 850. Macrium created and formatted all necessary partitions. I was up and running with the 850 as the new C:\ drive in a manner of 5 or 6 minutes. Nice!
One word of caution: Don't mess with Diskpart unless you know what you are doing. It is very potent. It can wipe the entire content of a disk in a flash with a single command: All data and even all partitions!

If it gets to 13:00 and he hasn't posted, we'll send him hate mail and roll back to the previous setter - which was you, I think!

No - I thought we would have heard from Kornfeld by now ( things are getting a bit lively where he lives )
