I know what you mean. Snow is nice in the mountains, but in the city is a PITA. I hate padding snow at 4 am, so I can take my car out of the garage

here in Singapore only place we get snow is on the internet. 3.3 billion hits on google alone.
for mine pictures is where snow belongs. Sure looks beautiful on photo's - not on my car.
but Singapore isn't always about sweating: caught in rain this afternoon while out bicycling
... a bracing 24C (with wind chill). so see, we can do cold here too!
this internet has become nothing but fake news.
... time to fix it, time to get back to the fax!

One of the finer parts of living near an Atlantic beach is that we're two growing zones warmer than even 20-30 miles inland. That translates to "a coating" for the coming storm . . . maybe. Unlikely to get below freezing.
Bad part - it can be ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) ing windy.

It's so frustrating when you have to manage your manager because they aren't doing their job...

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.
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.

That sounds about right.
