Now you can make a scanner that will take Light Bright designs and display them on your wall!

at 7.5" x 3.75" it will take a lot of these to make a wall.

In my office in India, there was a mock ICU having patient-side monitors and such. This was used for demo purposes and testing.
One of the walls of this was a light wall, a set of connected TV screens displaying in unison. These TVs used to show silhouettes of people moving around. Once I had to stay till late in the night, and these moving silhouettes appeared like ghosts, giving an eerie look to the mock ICU.

Hmm ... assuming covering a wall 86" high (so it skips the skirting and any crown) and say 160" wide (not a huge room, but big enough to be ... umm ... noticeable) that's 22x21 units or 462 units to mount.
At 8.8 ounces each, that's 4065.6 ounces (ignoring the weight of fittings to mount them) or 254lb or 1/8th of a US ton.
Plasterboard / drywall isn't going to support that too well long term, so you'll probably need to add a reinforcement frame to spread the whole load onto the floor instead.
And that's a lot of units anyway: the cost is going to be considerably higher than an equivalent projector system, and probably a lot less reliable given the number of interconnections and that they are Chinese electronics (which normally have an MTBF of "Tuesday").

To say nothing of the total price. Similar-sized panels are selling for USD 35 on Amazon, so the total price (excluding mountings and reinforcement) would be USB 16,000. I guesstimate USD 20,000-25,000 for the lot.
That's edging into second mortgage territory in some parts of the US...

It is probably a setting of the tool... For instance I configured VS Code to always build before run - it suits me...

How hard are you pressing "run"?

This can happen from several causes. One of the build steps might change a source file, which then makes the build look 'stale'. The tool will then want to build again, even though it may not be necessary. Environments that use generated code can trigger this problem. I've also had anti-virus packages lock executable files after they're written, which causes date/time actions performed by the build to fail.
Trust me though, having it build things when it isn't necessary is a lot better than the opposite case. I used Qt Creator a few years back, and it routinely refused to compile resources after they had changed. In order to get reliable builds I had to write a script to delete compiled resources every time, thereby forcing it to compile them.

If that's what I think it is, it's pretty esoteric isn't it?

It's in at least one dead tree dictionary in my house, though with a somewhat different definition from Wiktionary.

OK, I'll check my guess:
Earplugs EARPLUGs
directionless (remove S)
around (anag)
snowflake.
GRAUPEL
(A snowflake with soft ice round it, also know as "soft hail")
I had to look up the word ...

Spot on. I heard the word from a meteorologist years ago, stumbled across it recently on Wiktionary, and the earplug anagram leapt out at me.
Oh, and YAUT!

It is interesting, that you had to check the word - it is a word even in Hebrew, from German via Yiddish

What do you use it for? You don't have any snow

Exactly - this is the closest we get to snow in most years... We need a word for that as snow is inappropriate...
