  • TreeView is designed as an afterthought. Some manager at MICROS~1 was like ‘ah yes we need an expanding nested list widget by tomorrow’ and they mutilated text edit box to draw text lines that expand when you click them. It does not have keyboad focus. It can only be operated with a mouse. It does not have shadow or raised widget borders. It has black text on white background, while every other widget has Windows Gray background.

    The proper UI would be a separate button for each label, like multiple hierarchical combo boxes.










  • It’s perfectly possible on Linux to have several network adapters with the same IP address, or several default routes.

    Most server applications will listen to 0.0.0.0 address, which means all network interfaces. Any incoming TCP connection will remember it’s network interface, and the server will send responses to the same interface.

    This will not work for UDP connections, and for outgoing TCP connections - they will always choose the network interface with the lowest metric, which you can print with ip r command.

    This does not include advanced techniques like bridge or bonding or iptables routing - you need to run special commands in the terminal, which you cannot do just by clicking your mouse in system settings app.

    It’s these things. Notice how the thread is smaller than the shaft. You always need to drill a pilot hole, otherwise the thread won’t bite into the wood. The thread is also pretty tight, so screwing it two-three times in the same hole is enough to strip the wood in the hole, so it can be pulled out with tweezers with almost no resistance. It’s also slotted, so if you press too hard your screwdriver will slip out. And if you screw too tightly, the head will rip off, because it’s a mild steel.

    Or you just hammer it in.
