To be fair it's a new manager that's only been on the project for a month since the previous one left. But there hasn't been much of a handover / takeover. I also think they are swamped with another project.

Be careful that you don't get manager disease

Yeah, I might just get promoted to managing the project...

Try replacing the manager with a monkey and see if that things go faster.
It might fling it's own poop at you, but that's normal behavior for managers who get replaced

Replace a manager and it will throw poop at you for a day, replace it with a monkey and you will get poop thrown at you every day.

"Leterally" - I didn't know you were Irish! (Only noticed because I just watched a YouTube vid "If Alexa was Irish (amazon echo)". I'd post it, but it's definitely not SFW language.  )

So distinguishing between a cast expression and a standard parenthesized subexpression in C# requires backtracking!
I whipped up a backtracking IEnumerator<T> class, ironed out the kinks with that, and then stuck that under my input to incorporate backtracking it into my parse. Whammo, now it can handle these stupid expressions, and any future backtracking requirements that crop up.
I now have a backtracking hand rolled recursive descent parser a lot like what C# uses (aside from the research compiler that was GLR based)
C#'s language structure looks deceptively clean. There's a reason it requires very modern parser and compiler technology to operate though. The grammar itself is very ambiguous. It doesn't seem like it is. It's not Perl after all, but it is actually pretty damned hard to parse without type information.
I'm using a similar approach that Microsoft's GLR C# research parser project took, and basically coding in possible alternate structures so when i parse, the parse tree i get back can reflect all of those multiple different possible constructs, but my mechanism is more hard coded and rudimentary than theirs was. Fortunately there's a limited number of cases where this has to happen.
Either way, I'm proud of what I've managed to pull off so far. This is turning out to be pretty cool.

That sounds about right.

I used to create some graphics to my kids for birthday parties and special blessings and such...
I look for some free stuff, use it to build my own, and credit the source, which actually makes it look more professional like...
Yesterday did the same for sime upcoming Hanukka pary, but Google returned only payed sites in the result. I had to go to the 5th page to find something free...
Made me wonder...

Maybe, we need to rename the Google search algorithm as "Paid Page Rank", instead of just "Page Rank".
|
|
|
|
|
I think just "Rank" (as in stinks) sums it up much better
|

I guess you need to compare with DuckDuckGo.
The reason Google has stayed in business this long ids that they've manage fairly well so far to keep the ads non-intrusive. This might be nearing its end.
Remember Altavista? It was the leading search engine until DEC sold it, and the streamlined interface was no more.

Interesting - it brings totally different results for the same query... And the difference is between the free and the payed...
I may duck Google search...

So I use Is and Has differently on my property and field names, depending on what they do.
Is implies the state of something, whereas Has implies containing something.
I've even had to use both for the same item. On my FSM code I have IsAccepting and HasAccepting, the first indicates whether the state is accepting, the second indicates whether itself or any states it contains is accepting- basically if it has any accepting states. Heavily commented in that case, and is fortunately the only place I've ever had that happen.
But it leads me to weird things like "IsEnded" instead of "HasEnded"
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

If a State object can be accepting when its IsAccepting property is true, I recommend renaming HasAccepting to HasAcceptingStates.
