... I've just flown back to Australia after nearly 2 years locked out. I'm here, but so is Omicron, so as I was travelling the borders again shut down and instead of being in the Melbourne office safe and sound, I'm locked up in a hotel in Sydney with a warning that if I leave the room the Police get called.
Hopefully sanity prevails and I can continue to Melbourne in 3 days, but unfortunately the last 36hrs have been a bit of an unwelcome adventure and the survey was pushed down the stack (somewhere above "have a shower", but below "work out how to get food and water given the hotel restaurant is shut and I can't leave the room")
So I'm opening this one to the floor: Who has a good survey question (and answer options!). Come in, Spinner...
cheers

I don't think you're allowed hints from the peanut gallery or a "phone-a-friend" when doing one of those locked-room challenge thingies.

Computer guy is told he's to be locked inside a hotel room for 72hrs
Computer guy looks at recently stocked mini fridge, coffee maker, laptop, chargers and phone.
Computer guy goes back to coding.

I've had one rattling round the back of my head for a while. I'll email it to chris@cp.

Here's one:
How will Chris get food and water?
Pick one:
A: Take out delivered by a taxi to the hotel room door
B: Raiding the mini-bar in his hotel room (assuming there is one and it's not already raided.)
C: Sneaks out at 2 AM with an appropriate disguise
D: Air-dropped by the Code Project Air Force Rescue
E: Starves

Interesting, I did not know we had something like that. Where can I apply? I like flying with helicopters and I also have training and experience. Still, we might reserve firing a Patriot at him as a last resort.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

That's literally what's been in my head all day. Word for word.
I've finally got it sorted though. No minibar, but there is Jimmy Brings. And it works. I tested.

Which function design pattern do you prefer?
[ ] Bouncer Pattern
[ ] Fail Fast
[ ] Guard Clause
[ ] Happy Path
[✓] Single Entry/Exit
Probably a few more I've never heard of. Maybe the others can chime in.

What's the difference between guard clause and bouncer pattern?

And the answer is "because Australia has become a totalitarian State.?

Trying not to start the soapbox, but ...
From what I've seen in the your media, our situation has totally been misrepresented. I'm thinking in particular of one of your politicians calling for Australia to be invaded to free us - please don't.
Here in Queensland we had the big lockdown last year and a few smaller ones since. Other than that we are free to go out for dinner, movies, have weddings (my daughter got married this year), go to sporting events, etc etc. At the moment masks are not mandatory (although I still wear it on the train).
Down south there've had it a bit rougher and have had higher numbers, but with high vaccination rates these restrictions are being lifted.

IIRC - It was Candace Owens (a conservative media type not a politician) and she was being facetious, she even stated as much in the article preface. I certain rather large portion of US media that openly supports the opposite end of the political spectrum misrepresented her.

There's an election next year so let Australians decide what they think about it all, overall, instead of throwing out cheap labels. Every country has made their own decisions and there will be decades of post-doc theses full of 20/20 hindsight on who did what best.

Germany had election some weeks ago... Guess what? We are about of getting locked down again.
Politicians in pre-election months where rushing to re-open everything to get "likes" from the voters... Now we are in worse situation as at the beginning, having every available resource but still with the worst statistics ever...

And as always... that will be very dependant on who is on charge while they are writing it.

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.

I am looking for a business rule engine(open source) in .NET.
any recommendation/experience to share?

Roll your own. Only you know exactly what you want/need.
|
|
|
|
|
it seems like I need to build a parser for these rules too...
diligent hands rule....
|
|
|
|
|
The rules already exist? I'm confused.
|
|
|
|

If you do intend to go that route let me know, and let me see a sample of your rules, and I'll whip you up an XBNF grammar you can either use with one of my parser generators, or as a guide to implement a recursive descent parser on your own. I'll even recommend which route to take, and which tools to use depending on what your rules wind up needing to look like.

thank you for the offer and definitely check with you! I browsed your post.

You can use that one but it's a bit dated.
When you're ready for it, assuming you're targeting C#, I'll hook you up with Norm and Reggie (or Parsley and Rolex depending on what you want)
They are quite a bit more mature than PCK, although PCK does have a syntax highlighting editor. In practice, that isn't very helpful which is why I haven't included it in more recent projects.
