I expect to see code there. Instead there's this animated countdown stealing my eyes away from the rest of the page.
And the people in the ad are all looking at me funny.

I assumed it was deliberate. 
I just hope it's not a regular thing. I understand wanting to pull in ad revenue but a huge moving image like that pretty much front and center is awfully distracting.

I'd be happy to see the countdown clock go or at least replaced by something subtle.

Is it just me, but the zero with a little black dot on bottom (between days and hours) looks just like an eye looking downwards. Spooky...

I finished reading The Three Body Problem recently and that countdown makes me very uneasy...

Different reasons I suppose, but still I'm glad I'm alone in finding it off putting.

In the end, the money to run this platform has to come from somewhere. For me the flashing ad is no problem, usually I don't stay on the 'home' that long.

I don't run an ad blocker on this site is because of that. Otherwise I wouldn't have seen it in the first place. I'm not complaining about ads in general per se. This one just weirds me out. *shudder*

It's one of the few that doesn't get blocked by my hosts-file; and regardless what its for, I'm not going to view any stream that requires that much ad.

Ads come in various forms; and the money is partly coming in due to the success of the site, which is partially to blame on people answering questions and writing articles for free.

As far as ads go, this one is amazing.
Everyone's talking about it!

Well based on the advertisement, I can expect the conference will subject me to the stares of dozens of strangers, some of them smiling at me disturbingly.

Yes, that's a conference... I don't know what else you'd expect

I agree, I dislike having things moving on the screen unless I told them to.

Does anyone use the feature in the Visual Studio code editor to add a second horizontal or a second vertical group of documents?
I think they implemented that feature the wrong way. Instead of halving the edit area in order to add a second group, I think they should have made it so that there is just an additional row of tabs. In other words, keep the editor area the same size, but just add another row of tabs on the top. I think that would have been a better way to implement it.
Anyone agree? Or do you like it the way it is?

You can put the tabs on the side and group them by project. There are a bunch of options at

Thanks, haven't used that feature yet but tabs would make it easier to manage.
I'm not sure how many cookies it makes to be happy, but so far it's not 27.

Thanks, Dennis. I will take a look at those options.
