The expectations are high now. I hope you can produce better genetic algorithm AI Orcs than mine. Shall we duke that out on my court or on yours?

There's a lot of AI work being done with Python as a wrapper to C code. The advantage of that combination is the performance of C and the ease of use of Python and integrating Python code with other libraries.
fast.ai is a good example of this combo (at least I think the actual algorithms are implemented in C or C++)
So, while I live in the C# world 95% of the time, I am continually impressed with how little Python code I need write to get something done, leveraging a LOT of Python and 3rd party libraries out there.

but Hell must be enjoying a cool spell.
I wrote a Singleton this afternoon (Type 4 on Jon Skeet's bestiary of Singletons).
Why? Because the System.Windows.Forms.TreeView.TreeViewNodeSorter Property requires an instance of a class rather than a delegate! 
.net is going on twenty years old, and ancient crap like this drives me nuts, time to replace it!

Which .NET version? 4.5+ have the Comparer<T>.Create(Comparison) method.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

If you are using an old version, surely that would mean that .NET being 18 years old has no relevance? 
|

I'd prefer to be using a new version of a newer (better) framework.
|
|
|
|

Well, that's your choice but you were implying that despite being 2 decades old .NET still was immature and the example you used to point that out is not relevant in recent versions of .NET. That is what I was referring to.

Brisingr Aerowing responded to you with newer ways of doing what you were trying to do in newer releases of .NET. So if you think about it, what you said is not relevant to modern .NET frameworks.

The issue is with TreeView not accepting a delegate and therefore having to go out of the way to make a class simply so it can hold a method.
And it's a framework issue; not a language issue.
There may be newer ways to do that, but it shouldn't need to be done.
My way at least works on more versions of the language.

Hear, hear, my experiences with WPF are not good either, maybe I'm growing too old for this line of work ...

WinForms does what I need when I need a GUI front-end for something, but I prefer console apps.

I just finished reading the article and I have to admit that even after programming C# for over 4 years I didn't event know about static constructors until you posted this  . I've been using versions one and two up until now for my singletons. You learn something new every day. Thanks

It won't be long until it will be the 50th anniversary of landing on the Moon. The last landing was in 1972 and then we just seemed to give up.
Recently everyone seems keen on going to Mars, which is a nice goal... eventually.
Where is the my retirement home on the Moon? Low gravity would be great. No bugs, snakes or home-security salesmen. An afternoon's flying with artificial wings in the Big Dome to pass the time and then home to my relaxing chair in front of the holographic TV showing re-runs of cool, old Sci-Fi movies!
I think we should get the moon-base(s) up and running before going to Mars. Buzz Aldrin agrees with me. What do you think?
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I think the technical challenges to putting people onto Mars and getting them home again are so great that we MUST colonize the Moon first to find out how to do it.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

You are assuming that they would bring them home again, it could be a one way trip[^].
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.
