How do you even remember a thread from last year? I'm always surprised by your vast knowledge required for moderation. Possibly with a help of some internal search tools?

I'm in a similar boat with you, so I have a few questions: 1. Why did you switch? Are you satisfied with the new experience? 2. Why was some of the history needed to be squashed? Were there any technical concerns?

But it doesn't have to be VBA. Any language with a decent OLE Automation library would suffice. I've been using Python to automate my Excel files, and am really happy about that. I tried to learn VBA, but could not adapt to its ar

C and C++ already have such a thing, IIUC. The literal 0 is considered the same as nullptr, if compared to another pointer. It is a bit worrying that such an overloaded meaning is added again to the language.

I guess what has changed is me, not the computing environment. When I was young, I easily grew impatient when things were going slow. Nowadays I still kinda feel nervous, but not to the point to warrant such bookkeeping methods.

I believe you already know this, hence the "probably" part, but such analog media can easily be produced from (modified) digital media, thus no credibility.

zsh is better than bash in nearly all aspects, at least in my use cases, so this is a great news for me. Is there anything that can be done in bash but not in zsh?
