Could this be used to prove e+pi is transcendental?

From your description I think you accidentally applied for a position in an administrative sub-branch of Hell. This was the giveaway: "I had a little discussion with the interviewer, who said 0 was not a multiple of 3 and 5".

I can recommend Wixsharp (https://github.com/oleg-shilo/wixsharp), you no longer have to learn the insane wix xml syntax to create an installer.

That not-invented-here locking mechanism was a big shock to me. I'd be very interested to know the rationale behind that, are locking primitives somehow not available in file system code?

a bunch of useless processes, if only.. they started using Scaled Agile (or SAFe) a few years ago, which slows down software development by a factor of five or more and adds non-productive fulltime roles such as 'Release Train Engineer', 'Scrum Master' and 'product owner'.

Passkeys seem to make it harder for you to backup your own private keys to other devices or to paper. Is there an open source Passkey manager yet that allows importing and exporting?

And after 20 years Agile has been subverted by faux-agile methods such as Scaled Agile Framework that unfortunately have a lot of traction in the industry.

as long as you don't modify the original nodes that would still work, no locks needed.

Instead of cloning the branches all the way up to root, wouldn't it be more efficient to just write delta-records, so a structure per inner node that says "it's like this original node, but with the following modifications x,y,z"

Wouldn't a file system in a slightly higher level language solve some of this pain? (edit: in terms of being able to understand the system)

For that I used Reason (digital audio workstation), create a single sine wave synth and played on the keyboard until I found the right frequency. I already knew my tinnitus was a low one for me (sounded like a mains hum) so was looking in the 20 - 200 Hz range.

You don't need the exact frequency really, just create a white noise sample in Audacity. The filtering just helps to allow playing the noise at the lowest overall level possible while still being effective in suppressing the tinnitus.

I think I could have achieved the same filtering using one of those hi-fi equalizer modules that were all the rage in the 80s and 90s.

For me what helped was creating a long white noise sample, then filtering it to have a peak around the frequency of my particular tinnitus and playing it in a loop at barely audible levels from a good stereo in my bedroom. I'm not exactly sure why that works but to me it seems like having an actual irregular audio signal entering your ears prevents your brain/ear from maintaining a self-oscillating tinnitus.
