from rollingstone.com : [^] Quote: The Dalai Lama will mark his 85th birthday Monday, July 6th, with not only the release of his debut album, Inner World, but a special live-stream event starting at 1 p.m. ET.
Per a press release, the live-stream program will feature an appearance from Richard Gere, a long-time student and friend of the Dalai Lama’s, as well as “other special guests, birthday messages and musical performances.” Acclaimed sitar player Anoushka Shankar (daughter of Ravi Shankar) will deliver the live debut of the Inner World track on which she appears, “Ama Le.”
The Dalai Lama’s live-stream will be available to watch on His Holiness’ Facebook and YouTube pages.
The Dalai Lama announced Inner World last month. The 11-track album mixes some of the Tibetan spiritual leader’s favorite mantras and chants with new music. The music was composed and recorded by Junelle and Abraham Kunin, two married musicians from New Zealand. afaik, Sander Rossel was not invited because of his recent sound-of-the-weak promo for "IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT - Rotted Futures." Rumor has it that HH sampled it, and sprained a chakra.
In case you wonder what the Dalai's wake-up routine is:Quote: In northern India, the Fourteenth Dalai Lama rises at 4A.M. and, having offered obeisance to the Buddha, sits down on his meditation cushion to contemplate his death. Knowing that death is certain, but the time of death uncertain, he prepares for death daily. He imagines an intricate process in which consciousness gradually retreats from the five senses to gather at his heart. Step by step, the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind- the basic constituents of the material world and human body-lose the capacity to serve as a foundation for consciousness. First, the earth constituent dissolves, and the dying person loses the capacity to perceive forms clearly. Instead, a mirage appears, like that of water in a desert. Second, the water constituent dissolves, and the dying person is no longer able to hear sounds, seeing only what appears to be thick billowing smoke. With the third dissolution, that of the fire constituent, the dying person loses the ability to smell and perceives red sparks of light, like fireflies flickering in darkness. The last of the four elements, the wind constituent, dissolves next. The Dalai Lama imagines that his tongue will then lose the ability to taste, and his body will no longer be able to experience physical sensation or even to move. At this point, he will stop breathing, but he will not be dead. His mind will perceive a sputtering flame, like a burning Tibetan butter lamp. from Donald S. Lopez' book: "The Story Of Buddhism A Concise Guide To Its History And Teachings," 2002

A small thing common between me and the great Dalai Lama. I get up at 4:45 am, and meditate for about 35/40 minutes everyday, till about 5:35 am. Meditating on the form of a Hindu God, and stories and glories of another Hindu God. 35/40 minutes of silent peace.
Then comes cat feeding time.

Religious trolling isn't allowed, but I'd hesitate to describe Bill's post as trolling.

This isn't a religious discussion imo.
What about the Christmas posts every year, those are definitely religious but nobody seems to complain.

In my part of the world, gym cats are now street cats.

Other looks like people who can't (or will not) hold their liquor when they will be intubated.

Wow, that's interesting. I find VSCode to be really great, but I'm a Win10 expat and have been on Ubuntu for about 1 year now and VSCode actually amazes me.
I can't believe I can step through C# code using VSCode on a Linux machine. So amazing!
I really like it for web projects such as ElectronJS or NodeJS projects.
And, it is quite great with Java stuff too.
Yesterday I found an old receipt (from '99) in a book I was reading and it was where I had spent $99 to purchase Visaul C++ Standard Edition.
Now, it's all free.
Maybe you are doing WinForms programming in VSCode? That would probably be no fun at all.
What don't you like about it? Just curious.

It might be that I don't have all the extensions I need.
I'm writing a console app for linux because I haven't been able to figure out how to read files on remote (linux) boxes yet.

Glad this thread finally came through because you can definitely do what you're talking about in C# on Linux.
You are correct that there is a plugin so you can debug / step thru code.
Here's a snapshot image of that plugin from my recent article here on CP:
https://www.codeproject.com/KB/api/5268373/Webapi_007.png[^]
I've done some tests on C# running file system stuff and FileWatchers and all that great stuff from .NET works great on Linux. It's amazing.

I need the intellisense to work, and I don't get the red underlines for invalid code. I haven't been able to find a list of extensions that makes it more like visual studio. It's a pain in the ass.
