It's normal to have preferences, and to not want to see things that go outside those preferences, but there is more than one set of preferences, and there is so much oppressively divisive behaviour and talk in the West, these days, that the norm for communications is more and more becoming "I Hate [enter a group of people here]!"
IMO, there is nothing wrong with CP. It has 14,435,318 members (and counting), and they can all read the bits they want to read, and not read the bits they don't.
Kudos for changing your approach from "I Hate!" to "I'll just read the bits I want to read, and bugger the cr@p I'm not interested in". Being bigger than the hate talk is good for everyone (all 14,435,318 of us).

Try not replying to your wife and see how well that works!

I replied! It was a perfect reply! I've done nothing wrong!

I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months - I don't like to interrupt her.

I've ordered pizza.
And I don't like pizza, so you can have the lot.

Turn your ad blockers off and the images will show up. 9 times out of 10 this is the issue.

It may be a security thing, e.g. some sharing sites are not quite safe enough, and images have to have an https address.
If you upload your images to the CP repository, alongside your article (I can't remember how, off the top of my head, but I do remember that the option was easy to find and carry out), there will never be any problems.

Now I have to restructure some performance critical code entirely because of the lack "break" statement.
I'm angry at their lack of effort.

If it had a break statement, it would probably follow C++ and overload it. 
But surely it has...you know...goto.
|
|
|
|
|
If does have goto, and i'm seriously considering it at this point

Well, when there's a reason, and it's thought out properly, there's nothing wrong with a goto.

I think the reason would hopefully be better than "someone at microsoft slacked off"

Just document what the goto is in there for. Even Dykstra said goto has a place.

Do it. break is just a thinly-disguised goto anyway. 
Here's an article from 2007 with some alternatives for the unsupported features:

You cannot overload the break statement in C++.
|
|
|
|

What I meant was that C++ overloads break itself, although I suppose this can be debated. But it's annoying not to be able to exit a loop using break when inside a switch statement that's embedded within that loop.
|
|
|
|
|
OK, now I got it. I think I've used the break statement millions times without ever considering its 'double' nature (I mean, I knew and eccepted it blindly)!
Thank you for the explanation.

And CodeDOM sounds like an epithet for my rubber duck, who's a refactoring taskmaster.
