Update: Here goes nothing. Visual FA Part 1: Understanding Finite Automata[^]
Man, my Visual FA project sure has given me fits.
First I crack on at it for like 4 days and then write an article.
A bit later I realize the whole endeavor is seriously bogus and needs a rewrite.
The article gets deleted.
So, more carefully this time, I rewrite the entire thing, benchmarking against Microsoft the whole way.
I think it's done finally. I thought that last time too. I checked though. (I checked last time too)
I'm scared to write the article now. I've got cold feet. On the other hand, I'm freaked out by not writing it, because regardless of the reality of it, that bad post feels like a stain on my reputation here.
"It's not a big deal", I tell myself. Stuff happens, and it's how we move on from that that matters.
Well, I'm not moving on so easy. It's silly, I know.

I suggest that you look up statistics on how many peer-reviewed articles are withdrawn either before or after publication. This, by scientists who supposedly take great care in performing their research. It won't make you feel better, but at least you'll be in good company. 
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Okay that on a personal level makes me feel better.
But in the big scheme of things, I worry for us as a species.

If only the pay to publish market had that same withdrawal rate.

Post it, lady! This is a community, and the purpose of articles is not only to teach, but to learn! You have an entire community that will let you know if there's something wrong, and most of them will help you to get it right. That is, if it isn't already! You're the Codewitch; we await your next spell.

Write it. If you don’t, you will forever regret it. Also, by writing it, you will be helping others who are interested in what you’re doing. Me, I don’t understand much of what you’re doing; I’m only a dabbler in programming. It took me awhile to realise what DNF stood for in one of your previous posts. I assume it means Dot Net Framework.
I’d like to read your article to try and understand more of what you’re doing.

yeah it means DotNet Framework. I hate that there actually needs to be such a disambiguation. .NET was supposed to just be .NET. Now there are 31 flavors of .NET, Diet .NET, Dr. NET, Cherry Vanilla .NET with Lime.
I'm over it. 
I did publish the article, and I updated my original post accordingly around the same time you wrote your response.

Well done for biting the bullet and writing the article. I’ve started to read it. May I make one small suggestion? You introduce the acronym ’AST’. To help a layperson such as myself, is it possible to expand on what the acronym means within the article? I was always told when doing technical writing to explain an acronym on its first use and then it’s fine to use it as often as required.

Oversight on my part. Thanks for catching it. I did explain it in the last article attempt. I thought I did so here too. I'm kinda tired.
It stands for Abstract Syntax Tree

Set up a Dev Drive on Windows 11 | Microsoft Learn[^]
Anyone tried it yet? Any good? Worth doing? Or a risky way to scramble a SSD because MS is involved and they don't seem to be testing much these days ...

I just set up a DevDrive to see what it was all about.
Moved a project I'm working on over to the new drive, fired up VS2017 got references comfigured, compiled...check.
Run...BSOD
After reboot the project won't load and the csproj file, when opened with a hex editor (HxD) it's all double boogers.
So to answer you're question, it's a typical uSoft SNAFU.

Thanks for that - sorry about your project - I'll leave it a while then.

Took me quite a bit of reading to find the following...
"Dev Boxes will come pre-configured to use Dev Drives so that teams who develop in the cloud will realize these perf gains automatically."
So it has something to do with that. I don't want to develop on the cloud. If my network goes down I can keep working.
However per the chart on the link from the original page why would anyone be doing a "local" git repo clone on such a regular basis that they need it to be faster? For me the only thing that is going to make me developer faster is if they find a way to speed up my brain.
Then it also appears that one of the comparisons is doing a build of the entire Java Spring codebase. If your project is that big you should learn a bit about decomposing projects because doing it that way guarantees maintenance problems.

It's the fingers that need speeding up for me!

I couldn't see the benefit either but thought I'd kick the tires, should have known.
I had to give up using VS2022 because it's so buggy, that should have been a red flag.

Yeah, I got that message but after reading few lines of docs, I decided to not test it. It needs 16 GB memory and my box has only 32GB.

that's a pretty good memory load. PLus, with all the crap MS is pulling these days, I'll stick with NTFS.

Hmm, very odd. Sorry, I have no useful suggestions.

Try clearing your CP cookies: I had the same problem with a site that I could reach from two Surfaces, a phone, and two Android tablets but not from my desktop. I think something in a "sub cookie" got smashed and the site couldn't cope. I think I took the Nuclear Option and killed all cookies (which was a PITA for a few days) but clearing CP ones may do it. Remember to find out your password first ...

Tried clearing cookies no difference, one thing to add is, if I enable Wi-Fi on my phone I can’t connect it times out like the other devices - so it looks like Wi-Fi / network problem - why is it just this site though ?
Never mind see Mathews post
