Yet another opinion we share. I don't do unit testing unless I have to. For my non-commercial code, I don't really write that much in the way of tests until I have to. I know that's evil of me, but there it is. I figure I'm just challenging myself to write more stable code the first time. Yeah, that's it. *whistles*
I can wrap the static methods with a class that just delegates to them, which is what I was referring to when I said "ersatz 'singleton'" - I just don't like it. I prefer the statics, but even that I don't like.

One of my previous managers was talking: I send programmer to C++ design course, after such course he writes only singletons.
Yep, for C++ programmer, the simplest way to look smart is to write a singleton.

I'm forced to write either a static class (like what I have now) or an ersatz singleton backed by that static class (wrapping it)
I'm sticking with the all static class.
I can't afford the this pointer to create a real singleton for the kind of things I'm doing. Right now all the arguments to calls are being put in registers, but I only have so many of those, and this is all critical code paths - anything I do impacts the final framerate of the emulator.
I have to be very careful in my design here. I can't get fluffy. I can't afford it.

There is a woman who hangs around the play-ground offering cheap batteries.
She sells 'C' cells by the seesaw.

I do a bit o' English, but this beyond me. And it's a spade, not a shovel.

It is an English "tongue twister", i.e. a phrase that gets difficult to say multiple times, especially at speed. Ofte used as a children's game. The original phrase is "She sells sea-shells by the sea shore".

Thanks. And good exercise.

Good point  ... I know about "she sells..." from my English lessons some time ago, and now I also know the meaning of "seesaw". And... both tongue-twisters can even be combined in one sentence ...

No, Bob.
Just sign the divorce papers and you can both move on with your lives.

Wendy was never that into Bob to begin with. (Nor the other way around I suppose.)

Something wrong with our Bob? What are you talking about?

Well,
Bob the builder and friends specialize in fixing things, including conflict and retributions. But when they say "No" it means that they have encountered a situation that they cannot seem to fix.
The spiel about divorce papers is a suggestion for both parties to go their separate ways. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Yep,
I ordered Starlink middle of this year and was suppose to get my kit in November. But now my account page has been updated and changed to "Starlink expects to expand service in your area by mid 2022." I've been waiting for nearly 6 months. I am not sure if it's related to the chip shortage but they suddenly added 6-8 months to my wait time.
See here[^]
I posted some questions about it over on /r/Starlink but mostly got vague and sometimes rude responses.
Is there anyone else here on codeproject getting Starlink? If so what has your experience been like?
Thanks,
-David Delaune

I have Starlink set up here in Dublin,Ireland - the kit arrived about 2 months ago and I think that was 6 months after my order.
Speed is good and the kit is rugged (we just had a big storm here but it was not affected) but it is quite heavy and does need a good "view of the sky".

Do you know if this would have any effect on my order delivery date? I was told that I would need to survey the sky around my property so I installed the Starlink app on my phone. There are no locations anywhere on my property that have a 100 degree unobstructed field of view. I walked all around but I have too many oak trees.
Someone told me that they were giving priority to orders with a confirmed installation coordinate.

It seems unlikely - I had not downloaded the app before mine was delivered.
