Mixed, a bit: she didn't like her or what she did, but she loved her because she was her sister. Strange, but true.

So she's both upset and relieved, and feeling guilty about both.

Starting this past week, my Android, when using Speech-to-Text, has been inserting the period Character (".") At weird places.

Google does not know the answer to this question, nor Has he been able to lead me to any Sort of cause, reason, or fix.

If anyone can give me a clue as to what is going on, and more importantly how to fix this, Please do.

. Also, if anyone knows how to ask Google the right question to find the answer as to how to fix this, Thank you even more.

.
This message that you are currently reading, is being done on the very Android phone, which I'm describing.

. Also, sometimes he will use the question mark instead of the period.

Again, this only started this past week; past couple of days In fact.

Try turning off the autocorrect option that adds a fullpoint (period) if you type a double space.

I have been examining Neo4j's implementation (Java engine, .NET/C# driver available). I have to control my knee-jerk "oohh ... alien" prejudice against Java technology.

The free book "Graph Databases," by Neo4j principals Robinson, et. al., published by O'Reilly, is an excellent overview of gdb's in general as well as Neo4j implementation features: download here [^].

So far all of the graph db's I've looked at implement connections (edges, links) between object (vertices, nodes) as one-way, which interests me since I am interested in modeling reciprocal relationships; the C# prototype I implemented for fun is based on two-way connections with each direction having a "strength," and dynamic interacting functions used, so ... when one direction changes strength ... the other direction's strength is modified (of course, two-way reciprocity demands preventing runaway recursion).

Neo4j defines Properties as "first class" objects, and they can be attached to either nodes, or connections: I really like that.

Here's an example, in Neo4j's query language, Cypher, that selects friends of friends of a selected person who are not immediate first-level friends of the person:

// given a data source like:

var people = new List<string[]>
{
    new[] {"Jim", "Mike"}, new[] {"Jim", "Billy"}, new[] {"Anna"Neo4j, "Jim"},
    new[] {"Anna", "Mike"}, new[] {"Sally", "Anna"}, new[] {"Joe", "Sally"},
    new[] {"Joe", "Bob"}, new[] {"Bob", "Sally"}
};

Cypher code executed by Neo4j engine:

MATCH 
  (person:Person)-[:KNOWS]-(friend:Person)-[:KNOWS]-
  (foaf:Person)
WHERE 
  person.name = "Joe"
  AND NOT (person)-[:KNOWS]-(foaf)
RETURN
  foaf

You can see this code in a complete C# example here: [^].

Well, I find the Cypher syntax very weird, but, I never completed SQL potty-training OMG | :OMG:

I sat down and toyed with what I would do using Linq (which I am sure can be improved) to handle such a query, came up with this:

List<(string p1Name, string p2Name)> people = new List<(string, string)>
{
    ("Jim", "Mike"), ("Jim", "Billy"), ("Jim", "Jonas"), ("Anna", "Jim"),
    ("Anna", "Mike"), ("Sally", "Anna"), ("Joe", "Sally"),
    ("Joe", "Bob"), ("Bob", "Sally")
};

var friendsByPerson = people
    .GroupBy(p =>
        p.p1Name).ToDictionary(grp =>
            grp.Key, grp =>
                grp.Select(g =>
                    g.p2Name));


var friendsOfJoe = friendsByPerson["Joe"];

var friendsOfFriendsofJoe = friendsOfJoe
    .SelectMany(name1 =>
        friendsByPerson[name1].Where(name2 =>
            !friendsOfJoe.Contains(name2)));

You should probably feel at home with Graph databases, since the thinking behind them are quite similar to your parsers.

Actually, it should be quite possible to create a database covering all aspects of for example regular expressions. Add a regex into the db and test a string using a query.

Note that I say possible, I don't necessarily think it's a good way to do it.

It reminds me of PROLOG; when I was still a student we modelized the relationships between all Greek gods using it.

There's a Youtube channel called Computerphile that has done a few videos on graph theory and the kind of problems it is used to solve. Might be worth hunting some down if you want to apply this to a real-world problem, as I find having an actual thing to solve is the best way to getting to learn a new technology.

Don't forget about relationship direction when working with graph DBs. Your Cypher query is bi-directional but the LINQ query is uni-directional. I really like Cypher and neo4j but haven't had much reason to use a graph DB recently Sigh | :sigh:

Fun stuff though.
