1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.

I've been writing code I've been meaning to write for years, and I loved the challenge.
Slang is a cool project even if
A) maybe i can't explain it to anyone
B) maybe i'm the only one that ever uses it
C) maybe it's only even cool to me
And deslang was super cool too even though it was just basically a utility for slang. Serializing code to code - what's not to love? 
I used to work with someone that could have appreciated it, but back then I *did* make something like it. It was proprietary because I did it for money, but this version is better. Better designed, better executed, and with some new ideas behind it.
Kinda wish I still did work with that someone right now though. He'd get a kick out of this.
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.

My professor from Design and Analysis of Algorithms class (who is BTW known to be a crackhead) is teaching Big Data Analytics in next semester and since I'm a crackhead too so I thought not only taking up that course but also doing my research with him.
I emailed him about my interest and he asked me to visit him during his office hours. Guess what... I went to his office and the only response I got from him was "I don't know what you are talking about" 
So of course I had no option but to come back and perhaps reconsider my choice. But guess what... I just received email from him saying that I can join his lab as early as starting tomorrow with no further questions 
I'm shocked since I know he doesn't accept students that easily and well though this means giving up my winter vacations and the very little time that I've been having these days for myself but still I'm happy and I guess a little proud too.  Wish me luck

Good luck! In my experience if you have the guts you can learn a lot from 'crackheads'...

The last horrible late night shift at the nursing home is over.
On to nursing school.
Woo. He hopes Doctors without borders won't send him to chad. I figure anywhere they'd send you is somewhere nobody wants to be so I'm wondering why he draws the line. Chad isn't even in the worst 5 I can think of off hand.
Anyway, he's getting a bit ahead of himself. He hasn't even gotten accepted into nursing school yet.
Nor learned french. Though he knows spanish and picks up languages like i pick up programming languages so it's not much of an issue.

Helpers are usually welcome, but there are morons everywhere so one can't be 100% sure.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

My wife if one of those people you can trust to organize anything (not technical).
She also fittingly works as a project leader.
So after a long and stressful autumn with a lot of deadlines and to many projects, her company invites her to a "conference" at a spa in Bad Gastein.
Guess who arrives at the airport with my passport?

Checking the passport maybe a little too technical?
OK, I'll get my coat!

If a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it, does it still require the use of protective headgear, footwear, and HiVis clothing rated EN ISO 20471 Class 2 or above?

I only ever banged my head on building sites when I was wearing a hard hat -- the peak stops you see scaffold bars, etc. that are just above you.
I figured it was something to do with Earl Williams' "production-for-use" theory.

Slang is kinda big, and build tools used in a pre-build step don't need DLL's to be dragged along with them.
But a slang enabled exe can be 350k easy in release mode.
So what I've done, is endeavored to remove
A) the startup processing time of a slang enabled code generator tool
B) the dependency of said tool on the large CodeDOM Go Kit (which includes Slang)
How I did it was I went meta, and I wrote code that generates code that generates code.
In this case, I can take all the work that slang requires and prebake it, because now I can serialize those code trees to arrays as code, so now I don't slang to reinstantiate them.
It's confusing to explain but easy to use.
So now i have this tool, Deslang. Basically you can precook all the work slang did into the code, add your dynamism by visiting that tree that got from Deslang as a prefab array (no slang required, just one visitor file) and add in your dynamic arrays or whatever that you wanted to generate.
Normally
Build Tool -> Slang -> Output
Now
Build Tool -> Precooked Slang -> Output
The latter runs a lot faster, and the build tool binary winds up a lot smaller because i don't need to include all the CodeDOM Go Kit source code.
Works perfectly for rolex, where 80% of what Slang is used for is easing maintenance - it's just static code, but it's written in slang just so it can be language agnostic and not force me to manually build a codedom.
Point is this is is clever. Rolex is 200k !! smaller and lightning fast now.
