In Italian folklore, the Befana (pronounced [beΛfaΛna]) is an old woman who delivers gifts to children throughout Italy on Epiphany Eve (the night of January 5) in a similar way to Santa Claus or the Three Magi Kings. Wiki

But can she make the trains run on time?

In Italy, that's an NP Complete problem.

You should see the traffic patterns? Talk about NP completeness. My son and his family spent a vacation in Rome and Naples. They absolutely loved it, but he would never drive a car there and he is a fearless driver in US.

I thought that same thing when I read about this Italian Santa.

I am not convinced that would stop most cats!

Most cats would see that as a challenge.

At least reporting 'Internal Server Errors'.
Drowned in its own success I think.

And it appears to be back, if slow.

It is "still"  down ... I became very curious after seeing some more info on YT, and tried it right now, but I had no luck Quote: We're experiencing exceptionally high demand. Please hang tight as we work on scaling our systems.

my last button implementation works okay, but it can sometimes report events out of order because it doesn't actually queue events. In the case of a click followed by a long click, the long click will be reported first if they're close enough together. This may work for simple UI scenarios, but nothing polished.
so what i did was i made the button (optionally) interrupt based. on the interrupt it logs a timestamp and whether the button was pressed or depressed into a circular buffer.
the idea then is when you call update() next (the cooperatively threaded "pump" method) it will parse the contents of that circular buffer and fire callbacks as necessary.
It seems simple, but long clicks, and multi-clicks, plus the case where you hold the button down on startup complicate things.
parsing button clicks reminds me of parsing the contents of [] brackets in regex, esp since you could do stuff like [[[:alpha:]]-a-z]
all this for a button. seems simple, right?

Like Morse code with an always live button.

Input buffers can be bears. The regex comparison is interesting.

The actual buffering part is pretty easy. The trick is parsing what I put in there. Basically each event (button down, or button up) has a timestamp associated with it, and the idea is to compute deltas between them for multi-click events or long presses. That's part of it, but there also the corner cases I alluded to.

Understood.
Buttons and switches can be tricky for the user.
Once we did a UI study on the states of a switch or button. Physical toggle switches with labels are preferred (old style used in aircraft). But they are expensive and heavy so many control panels use lights and labels. Red light ON means OFF, green light ON means ON. But when they are both on confuses folks. If one does not have colored lights, OFF labeled light ON means OFF? ON labeled light ON means ON. Stuff like that. You would be surprised how many people get these things reversed. Anyway, I digress.

I think your rants are pressing it, making it depressed, or at least burnt out

I have a MS Outlook email address which I use for non-CodeProject stuff. Today when I logged in to my account I noticed there was a message in the junk folder. Wondering what spam was in there, I took a look, and discovered it was from Microsoft themselves.

Well, it was the right place to put it!
