      Looks like it doesn’t like default_int either.
      There’s a suggestion as per this post. There’s a syntax error followed by a bunch of others:

      C2146: syntax error: missing ‘;’ before identifier ‘WCHAR’

      Could be windows.h related as well – further investigations on-going.

          Here’s a short flick of the dam:

          Its level is rather low (from the the dry last year) also likely for a slow leak somewhere, application of bentonite might help that. πŸ™‚
          Missed World Frog Day 2026 and yesterday was the International Day of Forests. There should be a day set aside to commemorate every day we did not celebrate, a catch-up and catch-all day from any of the 365ΒΌ days folks are at liberty to choose from. An astute refining and tweakage of the idea is necessary before any hope of garnering mileage in such lofty Empyreana as the Craigslist HOF. πŸ˜›

            Oh Craigslist, oh humanity!
            Well he didn’t include a piccy of the movie projector for the picnic – maybe he’s offering a projectionist as well? All we need now is something good on the 35mm film to take us away from those broken biscuits.
            Ah yes, a wonderful thought it is that rocks of the cosmos are on an odyssey, for our craigslist poster all earthly rocks are in fact on a sedimentary journey- his sample comes across as rather igneous though.
            Geodesic dome looks rather cool actually, more detailed pictures required particularly of the interior – and is the “EventLight” cover flexible or sectionable when setting up?
            Whoever posted the Volvo without a key was probably hoping someone would return the key so he could post an update just like the rock guy above. One wonders if the key is not the only problem given the age and condition – tyres, wheels, seats, engine? Might explain the absence of images.
            On the other hand upselling a Murano works a treat:

            This vehicle has classic written all over it, it will make you appreciate the finer things in life Mostly because by buying this you will wish you had them.

            The Jurassic Jeep looks superb – the Lego Wrangler looks even better!
            Looking for a devout change in lifestyle amidst a fusion of all things bright and wonderful & holy and weird – this church conversion has it all. Can’t say that portrait overlooking the dining will ever help the digestion. She just has to go!
            Portrait of woman over dining table.
            Concerned there is no update to the Haunted Thai Puppet post, perhaps they sold the puppet to some unwitting buyer, who, upon arrival at home with his new companion found it gone the next morning. Could it be that it found its way back to the poster and … ? They never wanted a psychic, they wanted a movie director!
            A shout out to the poor owners of the obelisk of which the Ogham inscription indicates 2018 as being the date of its interment in the sump. Could it be their relations with the landlord were so bad he totally refused to help with the obelisk ever? If that were indeed the case, the landlord has likely requested of the demolishers to ensure the item has been ground into a very fine powder. πŸ™
            The Trundlehouse is amazing – one could only begin to imagine the time involved in getting it repaired. Pity he didn’t have a piccy of the Sherman tank compass.
            We all know about white elephants, this yellow beauty will no doubt spend most of his days packed up on a shelf somewhere.
            The Maya CafΓ© is a strongly themed affair displaying bold visuals of Maya perhaps, where harmony and dΓ©cor may not have been the primary motivations in the mind of the interior designer. Where are the patrons? – or is that part of the illusion. A fun place for an semioccasional morning tea or afternoon snack – not every day.
            The first image on the SurfJet is not of the board (or the poster ???) so it turned out to be just good old beige. I don’t get it – he says he never got around to installing the impeller yet at the bottom there is:

            It has a brand new impeller

            Still, looks like a fun thing to try out – for one of that generation. Can you get granny mode from a 250cc motor?

                Quoting someone from there:

                Beige was the only color case available until around 1992

                Yep, the best you could do then in RGB was Rich Glossy Beige. πŸ˜›
                Although having submitted a rather glowing review of the oven, it doesn’t seem to have exhibited any of the smooth breaking in of the previous model. Did ask about the magnetron, – from that there certainly seems to be a chance of a better response elsewhere. πŸ˜›

                    200,000 living human neurons grown on a microelectrode array

                    They need a name! Very interesting – wonder if there is a pattern to the variation in learning if using a different number – 50,000 or 500,000 for example.
                    Only recently picked up on the Carlsen–Niemann controversy huh – what’s the difference between “no determinative evidence” and no … evidence? Carsen was out of order, and whether or not Niemann actually cheated, he would have been well advised not to admit to cheating in previous online games in the first place.
                    Could it be our own chess abilities would soar astronomically when aided by a few thousand wired-in neurons on microelectrode? The task then is to convince Carsen et al our newly found amazing abilities are from stint and study alone. πŸ˜›

                          If one can’t feel super after watching an episode of Super Mario Bros Super Show then King Koopa has won, and therefore should be accorded the title Super Koopa, King of all Super Bloopahs!
                          Body Heat kind of worked, with steamy shots of the Everglades, moody music from John Barry and a good cast including a rather dashing Ted Danson. The only thing that spoiled it was memories of viewing Double Indemnity years ago – a masterpiece in fact, thus the thing to do really is to watch Body Heat first, then Double Indemnity.
                          Black Bear is a nuanced affair, the progression of the plot is something I didn’t quite get so it’s pencilled in for an encore viewing down the track.

                            Well done, considering the hundreds or repos at Github are managed by only 7 contributors. And from the release page:

                            β—¦ COSMIC Files
                            β—¦ COSMIC Store

                            Cosmic Terminal has a promising ring to it, perhaps not the same kind of ring to be found around the Cosmic Terminal (or Terminus) at the centre of Andromeda, for instance. Would it boast an attractive and customizable 3270 blinkable cursor?

                                Just remembered too, that those iscsym functions will have to be replaced with the wide char version iswcsym if building unicode, and of course, being windows specific functions, directives apply. Sigh. What’s the cross platform equivalent of those I wonder?

                                    Enjoyed Showtrial (both seasons) more than some of the critics it seems. Enough pace, drama and tension to allay the jaundice from many an eye methinks – but not all!
                                    Something about the scripted character of Mia (and some others) didn’t quite convince in the first few episodes of Little Fires Everywhere (miniseries), happily not so much the case once into the swing of things. The exposition of racial themes, together with those arty and poetic as expressed by boisterous teenagers also add to the mix. A busy plot including multiple flashbacks keep the fires of interest smouldering at least. πŸ™‚

                                      Not a lot there that caught this eye – the keyboards are a bit pricey – nice colour arrangement and cool Discord logo on the Esc key.

                                      The buttons for the themes don’t do anything in Chrome, and the webpage won’t reveal all until it’s maximised. Similar to the issue in the GOG forums, where a very helpful poster assisted with the recovery of some old posts as well. πŸ™‚

                                            Nice unit – a bit like the A8 in many respects, both lacking NFC but supporting USB OTG and IEC 61960 standard, here’s the AU/NZ version, funny Samsung doesn’t list the A7 on the US page at all. Scrolling down the bottom of that AU/NZ page see the unreadble text. It actually copies to clipboard as readable text with stuff like:

                                            *Display Size: Measured diagonally as a full rectangle without accounting for the rounded corners. Actual viewable area is less due to the rounded corners

                                            Kind of figured that. πŸ˜›
                                            Apparently it’s the opinion of some that these models are slow – the A8 isn’t too bad loading up pages over here, the benchmark comparison assumes yours is 2 GB RAM and 32 GB storage. Mine is 4/128 – amazingly only one point better than if set to 3/32. Optimising helps a bit, as does laboriously going through and disabling stuff and clearing caches etc. – it’s also possible to disable Bixby. One could wish for Knox to be throttled during heavy page loads- not happening any time soon. πŸ™
