Suggestion for the language-token for this function: "transplant". transplant [qualification] from [SourceArray] to [TargetArray] [qualification] is a pattern/expression which describes exactly which bits you want to move from SourceArray to TargetArray. If TargetArray doesn't exist, it should

This is a continuation of some code introduced in the "valueDiff" thread, but wanted to take it in a slightly different direction. We had some great success at getting a process that took over 50 seconds on my machine down to under 10 seconds. It isn't anything that we would actually use in

RE: Windows: "not responding"

Same here. Many Windows apps do it. It seems that Windows can't tell the difference between heavy I/O and a true "Not Responding" I have seen this behavior since Win 3.1 and it hasn't changes all the way to Win 10. It especially happens when there is heavy I/O is on a SMB share. I suspect it's

IIRC, earlier discussions here about this do recognize that it's about a certain finickiness with Windows, but also acknowledged that this seems to happen more frequently in LC apps than others. Personally, I see this very rarely in anything other than LC, and in LC apps quite often.
