Congrats. They've punted on my EFcore+Sqlite bug for 2 releases now despite having assessed it as a 1 day fix. The project it was an annoyance on has ended; but I still want to be able to show a Made M$ Fix Their Crap achievement next to the Made M$ Admit Its Crap is Buggy one someday.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Lucky you. The ers close and delete my reports without comment, so I don't bother anymore.

Pretty sure I know the answer, but I just really don't like this week's theme so I don't quite fancy doing a clue...
If nobody has claimed it by noon, maybe I will take one for the team.

Which means ... you are up tomorrow!
Good luck keeping with the theme!

One guy I know has bought a WiFi cat feeder?, I mean cats are nature's little serial killers and it sounds like a device that will have little support and turn into a security hazard, mind you he has a smart home hosted by a Chinese company?

what happened?
i used to enjoy it. now i find it tedious.
working on a gui for my parser generator and i hate every minute of it
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.

Who Why would it have a GUI?

it's got it's own language. syntax highlighting, generating code, etc.
lots of things to use a gui for.

Go work on some web UI code for some time. When you come back to this, you'll love every minute of it.

As far as I know WPF is the only good and easy UI toolkit!
Arguably UWP (available in C++) / Xamarin should be close behind...
Some people think it is HTML.. mmm... debatable...

I tried WPF yesterday. I got as far as the designer before I wished it was a physical thing so I could crumple it up and throw it in the trash.
Whomever created WPF should be dragged into the street and shot.

Seriously I don't quite understand the anti-WPF crowd.
To be fair, if I reminisce back to 2005, I think I did find it kind of over complicated and bloated at the time...
But since then I came to love it far above all other GUI toolkit.
I suspect most WPF tutorial and introduction are totally lost in power user considerations.... WPF is best by far. And by best I do mean it's also the simplest, believe it or not!
I tried to write the introduction than it deserve once... (and unexpectedly won an award for it), have a look!

The first thing is, I don't like the designer.
The second thing is, the first time i tried to include a 3rd party component it flat out didn't work, - did not show up and no error message - despite following all the instructions.
The final thing is, XML layout is annoying, vs code. If I wanted markup to define my app i'd just make it in HTML5
