Are we on midday CCC ?

The North American colony is rebelling once again. Looks like the Canadian loyalists have captured the flag.

I'll take that as a yes

Stars are still out and no coffee yet. Who could be in a puzzle solving frame of mind?
|
|
|
|
|
What does the stars' visibility have to do with it?
No coffee; however...

What does CCC stand for. Codeproject Comment Committee?

I believe it stands for: Cryptic Crossword Clue
It's a cryptic crossword solving game played by some CP members on weekdays. I think the "official" full name of the game is: WSO CCC OTD, which stands for "Winner Stays On Cryptic Crossword Clue Of The Day".
The rules of the game can be found near the bottom of OriginalGriff's CP profile.

I had some help, but I got the Arduino Framework running under PlatformIO with the ESP32-S3 that's still not in mass production yet, meaning i can adopt it early and start writing code for it.
I've been waiting for this. I've had an S3 collecting dust on the shelf since last December or so. I'm thrilled to be able to unbox it finally.

I knew the word and could recognize and understand it when written, but for the life of me I couldn't come up with that. Took me brute forcing and went over the word several times.

Must be derived from Indian languages. We have a similar word in Kannada indicating the same thing.
|
|
|
|
|
We also have a similar word in italian indicating the same thing.
EDIT: I checked the etymology and it is indeed derived from Hindi. The Italian word is derived form the French one which is derived from Hindi. It's highly probable the English one derived from French too.

Indeed. I knew the word from Hindi/Urdu and of course could be adopted in English like many other words. I was surprised that it was part of dictionary now.

Surprised that so many people (well, 3 or 4!) here are not familiar with this word. I'd say I use it myself at least once a week during winter (less so in summer) and it does appear in plenty of English literature and historical TV series.
Anyhow, I managed today's in 4:

Not everyone is a native speaker or lives in an English speaking country Also in my country it's not particularly used as a clothing item, we tend to use scarves more than shawls.

"It was $5." she said.
"What kind is it?" I asked.
"Ten-o-clock."
I didn't even take off my coat. I'll be going now.
