Oh yes, I know that problem. Being involved in amateur theatre as a lighting tech, I spend a lot of time up ladders looking at the settings on LED fixtures above me. That's a glasses off job.

I tried progressives and nearly took a fall, a couple of times.
Just couldn't get used to them.
Good luck with yours.

I just got a pair with "occupational lenses" for the first time. They're like varifocals except they vary from close-up to medium distance. Now I can read the smallest text on my monitors comfortably without having to tilt my head back! I love them, but I sometimes forget to change glasses when I go outside - I'll have to get used to that.
My distance vision has gradually improved over the last few years and it's now almost perfect, so I can do without glasses for driving etc. although I usually wear my normal glasses so I can properly see the displays on the dashboard.

I had a similar experience - it's usually the focal centres on the lenses are wrong - my optometrist(also a friend of mine) says; you shouldn't have to get used to them apart from the first few hours of minor niggles while your brain rewires itself - take em back and get them to check the lenses because they sound wrong

"Quote: it's usually the focal centres on the lenses are wrong "
Thanks for this advice.
I had the same experience as OriginalGriff, trapezoid rectangles, for me short on the right hand side.
Taking a close look I noticed that the bridge of the glasses was not central on my nose so I went back to the optician, and raised the issue discretely (I didn't want to make a spectacle of myself).
After adjusting the bridge all was fine.

Give yourself extra space when driving with those!

"Switch to Roslyn" they said. "It will be better" they said.
Update: And in teaching myself that - it's a royal pain compared to what i have been doing.
Yeah, except you can't target older versions of C#, like used in the .NET Framework with it well, if at all because source generators aren't available until like C#9. Why can't they backport this stuff? Just hire a few more people and give the economy another shot in the arm.
I'm faced with the fact that I already have *language independent* source code generation using the CodeDOM, which can target any and all .NET flavors, even if the steps for targeting each can vary a bit.
And source generators usually (but don't have to) take C# in plain text for their output.
Which leaves me with this option:
var writer = new StringWriter();
...
csharpCodeDomProvider.GenerateCodeFromCompileUnit(mygeneratedCodeDom code, writer, opts);
That feels cheap. But it saves me from having 3 copies of essentially the same generation code instead of just two (Reflection Emit and CodeDom). The other option is to write a dedicated roslyn generator.
The whole thing that has been holding up my next Code Project article, as well as this generation is I can't decide which bad choice I'm better off with.
It's just got me stuck and spinning my wheels.

They can't backport it because it is in the language specs. It is not a feature of your IDE, it is not an optional feature of the compiler. This is one of the things that makes source generators so powerful. It just works. No IDE extension that won't work if you try to compile commandline. No command line tool your IDE does not know when or how to run, no fight to get the tool running on the build pipeline, no extra tools to install and manage versions of on the build agents ...

What I'm saying is they could backport source generation into say, C#7 and such. I don't see why not.
Either that, or just bite the bullet and retire .NET Framework altogether. Having to deal with both is more and more like straddling two different worlds with each passing advancement in .NET.

It is part of the language spec. If they "backport" it to C# 7, then the language will have changed and per definition not be C# 7 anymore - so no, it is not possible to backport to an existing language version - they would have to introduce C# 7.1 or something like that.
.NET Framework is in the process of being retired. No new features, only contractual obligations for bug fixes (maybe only security related, not sure).

I'd be fine with 7.1.
Or for .NET Framework to hurry up and go away.

honey the codewitch wrote: source generators aren't available until like C#9
The generator itself needs to be built using .NET Standard 2.0 or greater. The project that uses it needs to use a new "SDK-style" project, which mainly excludes old .NET Framework web application projects.
The version of C# used in the generator or consumer project doesn't matter.

I have also used them for .NET Framework in the past. Even though it is official C# 9. I can't remember which language version I used in the target project.
