The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.

greetings kind regards
may i please inquire re/ laptops i.e. is it necessary to utilize a hand held mouse or is the integral touch pad sufficient for coding . i have only ever utilized a desktop PC .
thank you kindly

greetings kind regards
this is not the Ask a Question Forum however i intend to break the rules by asking a question non-the-less of the many multi-skilled individuals here to wit i wish to afix a PVC pipe of length 1m to a flat base of hard plastic so it stands vertically to support an indoor FM antenna on the top . i do not know how to perform the afixation . i can only imagine a glue around the edge of the pipe but am not confident of its' strength . i seek your kind assistance .
thank you kindly

Hardware stores carry a glue for PVC pipe. It's usually blue. I'm pretty sure it sticks to many other plastics too. Plumbers use it a lot on PVC drain and sewer lines.

thank you kindly for the suggestion . however upon viewing https://www.lowes.com/pd/CANTEX-8-fl-oz-Pvc-Cement/1000193073[^] it seems more a sealant then a glue . please note i am assuming glue along exterior of edge of pipe base and along flat base upon which it is intended to stand rather than an internal connection of two pipes one sliding over other as i assume said glue is utilized for .

This is a site for software development, not DIY so your question isn't relevant anywhere here! 
I'd be nervous about your idea; 1m is quite long, and the antenna will both add to the length and put the weight right at the top where where it causes the maximum instability - you will need quite a large area / mass of base to prevent it tipping over in a light breeze ...
Glue is certainly an option - but it'll depend on the actual plastic how well it will adhere - a hardware store is probably your best option, but I'd probably make a "plug" for the pipe and secure that to the bottom via screws, then screw the base to the plug instead of using adhesives. That way, if the base proves inadequate, a few seconds with a screwdriver and you can try a bigger, heavier one!
With a good adhesive, you'll probably have to cut the pipe off and that's not easy as you need a smooth, clean, accurate edge to resecure it to a new base. Hand saws don't generally provide that!

A simple idea: fill a plastic box with quick cement and put the PVC pipe in it.

thank you kindly . interesting idea . however i wish the setup to be disassemblible and need to place it atop the FM receiver so prefer not too heavy . thank you again

interesting suggestion especially the height i.e. 9ft, thank you kindly . am not sure how to place antenna atop i.e. to wit SR-100 FM Antenna[^] thank you again , will look for other stands of similar height

A mix of what already has been said:
If your PVC pipe offers you a good place to put your antenna, use it. Just make a wood tripod (or quadpod), where you can have 2, 3 or 4 horizontal boards with a hole slightly bigger than you PVC to help supporting the side forces when wind hits your antenna, the tripod legs fixed to a wider broad on the base, and that board fixed mecanically with the best option to your roof. There are some special waterproof dowels that would avoid to have water coming into your roof.
Similar to oil prospection towers: Pic[^] but in small
For the 1 meter length I would do at least 3 probably 4 horizontal boards (top, base and 2 in between)

put it on a shelf instead?

And even those might have difficult times depending how strong is the wind over there.

thank you kindly . interestng idea . not too expensive and i imagine something like one of those as a base and a 1meter long pvc of 2inch inner diameter slips right over the mast and another such mast slips right into the top of the pvc and the antenna placed atop it i.e. its' bottom . thank you again

I just installed the beta of the new Chat version of GitHub Copilot and I've been using it for a couple of days.
I had this thought:
I wonder how long it will be before employers start using some version of Copilot (or whatever name they give it) to measure developers' performance?
It won't just be number of lines written anymore, it will be the quality of the code that gets measured.
Do you think that will happen?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Can Co-Pilot really identify quality code or nasty bugs that get fixed with some letters or a couple lines but get a dev busy for some days / weeks? If not... then it won't be a good idea.
Additionally there are parts of the job that have nothing to do with code writing and can be time intensive too. Clarifying specs, talking with customers / providers, organisational things, creating the concept / structure...
Product owner, product designer, system architect and other similar roles are very difficult to evaluate using those kind of metrics.

Totally agree. That's what formed the basis of my question - just how unfair it would be.
