Visual FA is the project I've most enjoyed in C# in recent years. But it's finished.
Not only is it finished, it's fairly polished. It slices and dices state machines, you can render them to graphs, to and from regular expressions, and analyze them in a myriad of ways. You can generate (optionally dependency free) matching code with them, or compile directly to an assembly. The matchers can stream from TextReaders or match off strings.
I have nowhere else to go with it. It has been a long time since I've truly stuck a pin in a project as "completed for the foreseeable future" but after like 5 articles and 2 tips, plus the code itself and it's associated nuget packages I have nothing left to do.
I'm glad. But I also wish there was more for me to do. I really enjoyed this project.

Hi, it's many years I'm wondering who is the genius responsible to write the subtitles to the newsletter topics. I found them very funny and smart, honestly I wait the newsletter just to read them!
As example:
The BASIC programming language turns 60
Only 5 more years until retirement <==
but there are many many others.
I really appreciate all the effort 😂

Recently, there was a discussion here about mouse buttons going bad very quickly.
Just stumbled upon this video[^] of a guy who also said he has to replace his mouse every 6 mos because buttons go bad so he built his own mouse.
Interesting explanation of the problem and solution.

Dang he talks fast...interesting video though.

Uhhh, every 6 months?!
Are his hands made out of concrete or something? Or is he buying his mice out of a $2 bin at the local grocery store?
I'm replacing mice every 5 to 10 years.

He's a gamer.
Also, you are lucky that yours are lasting 5 - 10 years.
I've had some that the buttons last 1 year on and they've had little use.
I think it's possible that there was a huge batch of really bad switches that were used in mouses (mice) for a while and if you bought during that time you got ones that lasted very short time.
I have some trackball mice (logitech) have lasted 30 years of daily use. It's crazy!

Gamers would use gaming controllers, rather than mice, isn't it?

Not PC gamers, on certain games a mouse is far more useful and there are those advanced programmable mice like Razer Basilisk V3 Customizable Ergonomic Gaming Mouse: Fastest Gaming Mouse Switch - Chroma RGB Lighting - 26K DPI Optical Sensor -Classic Black[^]
Here's the one the video creator uses I think, Logitech G502 HERO High Performance Wired Gaming Mouse, HERO 25K Sensor, 25,600 DPI, RGB, Adjustable Weights, 11 Programmable Buttons, On-Board Memory, PC / Mac

There are numerous gaming mice.

Gamer? So am I.
My current mouse is a Corsair Ironclaw, with 3 years of hammering on it. No problems.

Yeah, as I said I think there was a batch of bad switches (used for buttons in mouse devices) which were used in a big span of products, because there are many others who've mentioned this issue too.
I had bought a brand new logitech (portable/wireless) (logitech trackball m570[^]) that I had only used rarely with my other laptop and only used it at home (didn't get lugged around and banged around) but the buttons lasted less than one year. I would take it apart and clean it and it would work for 1 week then stop clicking unless I clicked it twice or slapped it hard.
I was afraid but I bought another of the exact ones again but this time I made sure I bought it at a local store (Target) and I've been using this one for over 2 years now and it still works great.
(I'm on my laptop now and using it.)
Also, it is possible that buying some items online actually gets us consumers pointed to "exact" counterfeit products -- listed as logitech but is some other company churning out garbage. I always wonder about that.
