Sorry mate, not a Jazz fan either. If I was to listen to Jazz, I think it should be listened to it live in a poorly lit cellar while sipping a glass of something.
Although I can always find an exception to rule. I've always loved Looney Tunes The Three Little Bops[^]

Yes, they were very extraordinary clever at using cartoons to introduce you to music.

Thank you. The synthesized sounds at the beginning are hard to take, but about 5 minutes in the horns are great. Bit heavy on the drumming (for me) but I love hearing a great trumpeter or Sax player.
Best wishes!

I actually love those first few minutes, especially because of the drums!
The whole thing is great though

My younger son was a snare drummer (U of Minnesota Marching Band, Hockey Pep Band...). He would probably agree with you! I do enjoy seeing a good Drum and Bugle Corp

I know Allegaeon, in fact that album is still in my favorites (although somewhere far in the back and I never listen to it anymore), just put it on again
I even think Allegaeon made it to SOTW back when that album was released, although I can't find it now so maybe I opted for another band that week.

Yes, and had you waited that hour ...
... I still wouldn't have beaten you to the answer (because I didn't look at it until 3:30 London time). But! I did solve it! In the last 2 or 3 weeks I have solved 2 and been very close on 2 others. As my Aussie friends would say I'm feeling a bit chuffed with myself right about now.

How many of you (that program in JavaScript or similar) know what this line is:
const {Pass, Fail, NA, NO} = changes;
and could be used like this:
if (Pass || Fail || NA || NO) {...do something...}
If not, can you guess, knowing that changes is an object:
const changes = { Pass: 1, Fail: 0, NA: 0, NO:0 };
?
If you're still clueless, like I was, it's called "destructuring[^]".
So I'm just curious, because like I said, I knew about this, forget about it because it's rather arcane IMO, and just got reminded about it again.

I use it every day. I don’t know what would be of my life without it.
Also, we already know part of changes.
const { Pass, Fail, NA, NO } = changes;
the above hint us that changes may have the following fields Pass, Fail, NA, NO

Looks a bit like they got the idea from Python.

It's actually quite handy, but it also leads one down the "I can use it so I shall" path, rather than the "This is the most readable, maintainable way to write"
If everyone working on the code is good to go, it's great. But there's many devs who don't know, or forget, or get it mixed up.
...like a lot of "convenient" syntax these days.
There's a point where a syntax becomes so specialised / esoteric that the savings from less keystrokes, less code to maintain, more lines per screen are outweighed by the costs to hire more senior developers and the time taken for non-experts to get up to speed on that syntax.
Everything's become so engineer focused lately. What about those who have to pay salaries, or maintain some uber-dev's code, or what about focusing on stability and the user experience rather than the elite factor.

If you buy a new power supply, it may come with an "eco switch". This switch regrettably ships in the on position.
I spent about $200 and a day and a half of labor trying to find an overheating issue before I turned that switch off and solved all of my problems.
Here's what it does - it turns the PSU fan off. That's it. Ostensibly it's supposed to kick in when it needs it.
Clearly they don't. My machine was hard turning off after a time under moderate to heavy GPU load.
I had to flip the power switch on the PSU in the back off and back on again before the power switch on the front of the chassis would work. That should have been my clue that it was either the mobo or the PSU. And previously (without the GPU) the mobo worked fine. The PSU was new with the GPU out of necessity.
Anyway, I wanted to let you all know about this in case you build a system these days. That eco mode switch may actually damage your equipment. Turn it off.
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.
