Statement 1: Every rule has an exception.
Statement 2: Statement 1 is a rule. Therefore Statement 1 has an exception.
Conclusion: There is at least one rule which has no exception.
Would you agree with this conclusion? If so, is there any example of a rule having no exception?

Thunderbird has been my SMTP client for years. My problem may be Thunderbird related, but my gut feeling says that it is not ...
I have several times noticed, when fetching new mail, that the status line says: 'Retrieving message 4 of 12', or something like that. When it completes, there are far less than 12 new messages in my inbox.
Tonight, it retrieved 'x of 6 messages', but only a single new message was in my inbox. There is nothing in the Thrash (and when something goes to Thrash, a counter displays the number of new entries). If a filter had redirected the messages to some other folder, it would have been seen in new count for that folder. Anyway, I have looked through every single folder, without finding anything new.
This is a fairly new thing; I have noticed it for a few weeks. Can anyone explain what is happening? Why does Thunderbird report 6 messages and display only 1 to me? I am suspecting that someone are trying to check if my mail address is valid, possibly also to see if I am reading the mailbox, by sending messages which somehow is marked to be deleted immediately, or possibly at a specific point in time that is already past - but I wasn't aware that SMTP had such a feature.
For the sender to be notified that I have received the mail, I am aware of an SMPT option for that. Thunderbird has several times presented a dialog box telling that the sender has requested a confirmation that the message has been received, with buttons for 'Return confirmation' and 'Do not send confirmation'. I have seen nothing of this when messages are 'missing'. I wasn't aware of an SMPT option for 'silently' generating a read confirmation - does it exist? If it exists, can it be used to secretly 'ping' me, the way it appears to me now?
Is there some other possible explanation? Could it be a Thunderbird hiccup? (That is a strange hiccup!)

Duplicates in 'All Mail' and Important ? I've seen that happen, but didn't pay attention to the message count.

I do not have, nor can I remember ever having an 'All Mail' and 'Important' folder. Searching in the TB help information, it seems as if it may be related to IMAP mail servers - my connection is via pop3. Some entries about 'All Mail' also seem to relate it to gmail, but gmail is not my mail provider; I use online.no, a mail service run by the Norwegian phone company.
Any further proposals?

Have any of you noticed this "skip to main content" feature in your browser shown in this snapshot[^])?
I absolutely hate it. I'm running Brave (chrome-based) and the latest release includes this so that it can help you get to the main content, but it does not work properly and it's just something else annoying that you have to click so you can see the content. It makes no sense at all.
It's a Genius-Feature, by half!
On the example page above it moves me to the first sentence of the article, but I was already sitting on the first sentence of the article.
I've tried to discover how to turn it off but it looks like there is no way to turn it off.
I seriously can't believe this is a "feature". This is the functional equivalent of the <blink> tag. Remember that gem?

What version of Brave are you using, what platform?
I'm tapping this into Brave 1.65.122 on Android and I use
Brave* on Ubuntu as my main desktop browser.
I've never seen the thing you describe.
* can't look it up right now, whatever the latest stable release is on Ubuntu 22.04LTS.
[edit] Home now, Brave is 1.65.123 on desktop. [/edit]

Long time ago I received some basic training about C in short community college class.
The teacher made references to "ANSI C ".
Just run into very confusing documentation while trying to
detect standard window "close" AKA " click X" icon..
Mixture of event / receiver / default implementation /re implementation.
Hence this , non programming question,
Is there such thing as "ANSI C ++ " ?
|
|
|
|

No, It is an ISO (International Standards Organization) C++ standard. I think ANSI (American National Standard Institute) stopped producing C/C++ standards some time ago. Now they are all ISO standards.

[This is written with a smile on my face so please take it like that]
Sorry to disagree with you, but you see, I'm an atheist so for me the world is not structured in terms of a fight between good and evil. For me it is a fight between humans and jerks and I cannot behave in a jerkish way because than, they have won. So I have to remain polite and helpful even in face of rudeness and aggressiveness. The hope is that the other one will realize there is a higher road and will take it. (In most cases it doesn't happen - I'm not delusional  ).

Thanks for letting me know the context buddy. You never know these days.  Not sure what being an atheist has to do with any of this though.
Real talk though, not sure how many narcissists you ever met... if none you're lucky dude.  But uh, I promise you peeps like this dude will walk all over you with that philosophy. Life's about balance, that way of thinking is admirable... when it's deserved. Not when it's abused.

Oh, I had my share! When they are too close they are really hard to stomach 
And you have to admit, there are some very slight positive signs: first he stopped giving us directions how to answer, now he gave up on CAPS, so maybe, just maybe... I'm not gonna hold my breath though

You have zero credibility dude. Clearly some will fall for your nonsense, but not all of us.
By the way, it's a programming language question, so it's borderline. Categorically speaking, it should be in the appropriate forum. You know this and you know exactly what you're doing. Those of us who have been around the block also know.
