So, I'm coding away in VS2019 and I want to move some code from the Form.Shown handler to Form.Load. So I copy it to the clipboard and then CTRL+K,C to comment it out ... and nothing happens.
Try again. Nothing changes.
Try CTRL+K CTRL+C Nope.
Start googling, check the Options to check the key binding, all looks OK. Google, Google, Google.
Half an hour ... try to manually comment it out and I realize I've got a debug session running and can't change the actual code ...
Close the app, and lo! It works again!

Common for me. In Atmel Studio I'll make changes go to compile and get the "would you like to quit debugging" message.

At least you don't spend half an hour working it out ...

the part I dislike is when (during debugging):
move around in the source (no prob)
copy some source (highlight, ^C) (no prob)
move to where you want to paste [or just start to type in some code],
^V (or start typing)
up pops 'changes not allowed ... do you want to stop debugging?'
OK, fine, fair enough, I can accept that's the rule,
so click the 'yes: please stop the debugging session'
-> cursor returns to the code where you attempted the paste/typing,
^V / type
nothing happens
where the hell is the focus, it's not [as expected] in the code where it was before the popup popped up?
yes the popup I can begrudgingly accept, yes my mistake, sorry, sorry, 1000 apologies
... but why is the focus not restored after I've apologized? (everything else works that way)
... do I need to sacrifice a pigeon* or self flagellate until I faint first?

That's annoying, yes - but at least it tells you why - "comment block" tells you bugger all, it just does nothing at all ...

IDEs should allow comments to be edited in code files during debug sessions. And not recompile the world just because a comment was changed in a low-level header. I guess I expect too much.

At least it started running without errors.

Been there done that.
I hate it too because it always makes me feel stupid.
When in reality I am a very.... OK sometimes I am a bit stupid.
Still annoying though.

A. How do we name a person who gives care towards another?
B. How do we name a person who gets cared?
I do see multiple options for A, like:
Caretaker, Care-giver, Carer, etc
For B, it looks difficult to find the right name.
Should it be Caree?

One quick look into the thesaurus:
People who take care of someone: bully, gangbanger, gangsta, gangster, goon, gorilla, hood, hoodlum, hooligan, mobster, mug, plug-ugly, punk, roughneck, rowdy, ruffian, tough, toughie (also toughy), yob [British], yobbo
People who have been taken care of: victim, casualty, fatality, loss, prey

I must have a different edition of your thesaurus. I never realized they made them for mafiosos.

"Client" is the preferred term at the old folks home where Herself works, and is used throughout their training materials: "Carer" and "Client"

These are from a UK-centric perspective.
A. In the UK it will always be carer. Caretaker would be assumed to be someone who looks after property and caregiver would not be used, although the meaning would get through, probably.
B. Client as OG said or possible dependant (although this would be in a non-professional context.)

Care-giver is used in the UK, but usually for someone who is not the primary carer, or for whom care-giving is not the primary job. So for instance a carer might take their client to a location where additional assistance is needed; a porter or assistant would help, and would temporarily become a "care-giver" whilst the client is still in the primary care of their carer.
"Care-giver" is a more generic term. There are plenty of people who do not require a carer (they are mostly independent) but occasionally need help in a specific task. They might be offended by that care-giver being referred to as their "carer" since that implies they are dependent upon that person.

Can it be 'Cared'.
So, the Carer caring the Cared.

This makes sense, but on a longer/frequent sentence I guess it gives a bit of discomfort while speaking out.

Isn't it weird that A is a care-giver AND a caretaker!?
A: Care-giver (gives care)
B: Caretaker (says "thanks you" and takes the care given by A)
Also, why does one have a hyphen while the other doesn't?
None of this makes sense

Yeah, just use Dutch:

Zorgbehoevende
