My morning brew is ⅓ caffeinated, ⅔ decaf. My blood pressure gets more difficult to control the older I get, and cutting the caffeine simplifies things.

I get my caffeine through excessive use of diet Pepsi. Been doing it for years and it appears to have no effect on my blood pressure.

Flavored decaf is drinkable and even enjoyable. I use decaf hazelnut coffee after having my allotment of regularly-caffeinated Ethiopian coffee. All black.

Coffee gives me wicked acid reflux, thus I no longer drink it.
Needless to say, I seldom get my code "right".

I would die.

Hmm. My response is a little different. Let me put it this way. I have a mug with a picture of a dragon with a steaming cup of coffee in its, er, claws with the caption: "Take my mug and I will drink my coffee from your skull."

I'm the same way with the acid reflux. I still love the flavor of Coffee, though. I'll gladly eat coffee candy and stuff like that. I need to try cold brew coffee. It's supposed to be less acidic.

I used to code in C++, lots and lots.
decltype(faAnchorLock)::pixel_type px;
...
float luma =px.template channelr<0>();
no idea what decltype and that template [space] stuff does. Though decltype is sort of obvious.
How things have changed.

channelr is a template function that takes one argument - 0 in this case.
template simply disambiguates it for the compiler. It's not always required - not even sure if it is in this case, but all it does in this context is tell the compiler "i'm about to instantiate a template"
the first line is grabbing a type alias declaration off of the type that corresponds to faAnchorLock. What it means in lay terms is "let me know what type of pixel format the faAnchorLock icon is using."
The pixel format is something like rgb_pixel<16> (rgb565 format, 16 bit) or in this case alpha_pixel<8>, which is a pixel that is nothing but an alpha channel. You can also have gsc_pixel<4> for example which is 4-bit grayscale, or many other types, and you can define more.
I'm using that to read the values out of the faAnchorLock icon. channelr gets them as a "real" value (floating point) scaled from 0-1 so I don't have to care about the source's bit depth (8 in this case, but that's an implementation detail)

I still code in C++. When I want someone to understand some code, I place block comments and line comments to explain what the code is doing. When did that go out of style?

Does Ronnie James Dio sing on it?
Seriously though, I do like the music he made with Jon Anderson.

Just wanted to add great singer to that list! RIP RJD! ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)
It seems that we have similar musical tastes! I'd bet that you are probably are a musician. Rock On!

Well that's a given when you're talking about RJD  . I saw him several times over the years, he killed it every time, indeed RIP RJD! I will rock on, you do the same!

That sounds like an issue I'm having with Chrome and I want to find out how to keep them awake all the time.

Well, you've probably already tried the first Google search referring to using an IFrame to trigger behind the scenes action in an empty page to avoid session timeouts. This works fine until the tab goes to sleep...tab wakes up and session is lost!
In fact, the solution works without fail in development...I can leave a page open all night and the session picks up where it left off...running in IIS in production is failing after 1 hour of inactivity unless I specifically add the domain name to an area in Edge Settings under System and Performance / 'Never put theses sites to sleep'.
I need to test this under Chrome anyway so I'll let you know if I find anything that works.
Update: Chrome has the same setting under Performance that lets you keep specific websites from going to sleep. I let it run overnight and found it still working in the morning. Now if there was just some way to automate that setting for my users.

Can it be thought of like this -
You are attributing to the coffee what you desire to attribute. In reality, it was the work-break which made a difference than the coffee itself.

|

well the biggest break was prior to me having the coffee and it didn't solve it. Just sayin'
