another brilliant mind poisoned by c++
Everyone who ever tried to automate routine tasks in windows knows that there is no sleep() program or its analogue. At least in default windows installation.
But there is quite an unexpected workaround:
ping -n 2 127.0.0.1 > nul
will stop batch execution for 2 seconds. (Replace 2 with your number for longer pause.)
Very simple and neat. Or is it?
It looks like I am not the only one who ever tried to find another good font to replace default and ugly “Courier” in Visual Studio. I found a discussion here with some examples… Monaco looks nice, actually, but link to is was broken. Found it here, tried to install.. surprisingly, the font appearance reminds me one of those old DOS IDEs from Borland.
