what is a programmer who spends more time debugging their language/framework than debugging their application ?
as I said recently in another post:
Gist: I miss you chaotic/challenging/wild/inspiring lot ... a lot !
Constraints on my health and time (how dare my body get old !) have meant rationing my CP time.
The challenge of creating a new jewelry business where I select and buy gems, design custom rings and pendants, and interact/collaborate with the local (Thai) craftsmen who manufacture using typical by-hand jeweler's bench techniques (not 3d design, printing, etc.), of setting up stores on Etsy, eBay ... has gone from a part-time hobby into a project that takes up most of the 4`5 hours a day of screen time my eyes are good for.
No longer time for soaking up the latest/greatest really innovative probes of space-time boundaries by folks like Honey-Witch, Gianni Yiannopoulos, Mehdi Gholam, Marc Clifton, Pete O'Hanlon, and many others. To savor the technical excellence of OriginalGriff, Richard McCutchan, Richard Deeming.
No longer time for the daily struggle to teach newbies how to learn what the docs would tell them ... if they looked, if they knew how to look.
Well, as Heraclitus said: 'panta rhei;' perhaps, as Kong Fu Tzu (aka Confucius) said: 'They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom.'
And, keeping in mind Machiavelli's famous dictum: 'There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.'
... as you just saw, the quotation-buffer in my cognitive capabilities is still ... intact at age 78

Just bear in mind my friend, that growing old is better than the alternative!

Aye, when I were young I had a full bag o' marbles ... cat's eyes, aggies, steelies ... I remember them well.

Good luck with your business. Even if your CP activities are curtailed, I hope we keep hearing from you for many years to come.

Have you tried Windows Narrator? You wouldn't have to focus as much and could listen to the messages. May not be applicable but just trying to be helpful.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Thanks Mark, What I do requires ... reading with the eyes.
Praise be for audio-books ... they have enabled me to continue my passion for literature.
cheers, Bill

Tonsure
160kph = 100mph = ton(slang)
certain = sure
A tonsure is the hairstyle favoured by monks

Start by learning to read:
Quote: No ads, no abuse, and no programming questions.
If you have a programming question, post it in Quick Answers[^]. But you'll need to actually ask a question; don't just dump some code and expect us to work out what you want.
"These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined."
- Homer

To add to what Richard has - rightly - said, just posting code doesn't help anyone: you need to tell us what the problem is as well.
This is not a good question - we cannot work out from that little what you are trying to do.
Remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind - we only get exactly what you type to work with - we get no other context for your project.
Imagine this: you go for a drive in the country, but you have a problem with the car. You call the garage, say "it broke" and turn off your phone. How long will you be waiting before the garage arrives with the right bits and tools to fix the car given they don't know what make or model it is, who you are, what happened when it all went wrong, or even where you are?
That's what you've done here. So stop typing as little as possible and try explaining things to people who have no way to access your project!
This may help: Tales from the Evil Empire - Asking questions is a skill[^]
Posting even a good question in the wrong place is likely to annoy people (it makes you look like you don't care about other peoples rules, or you are so self absorbed that nobody else matters, even if this isn't the case) - and annoying volunteers you want help from isn't likely to help you much at all!
So, in summary: Post it in the right place, and post it in such a way that the reader can properly understand what the problem is - without irrelevant material!
