I hate them, Missus can't leave them alone. I bought a house at 22, at 27 it looked like I would pay it off at 32, at 29 I sold it as I couldn't stand robbing Peter to pay Paul and keep financially afloat. Now at 50 I only have about $30K in unsecured debt I am still paying off.

This pub was built prior to 1900 I believe, no later than 1920 anyway, don't think thay have many if at all. Most pubs now in NSW have 30 (maximum they can have) and it is there lifeline.
Don't mention the clubs, 2km away we have the Rooty Hill RSL Club, 600+ of the faarrrkkkkers.

At age 41 I was laid off and started my software business, That was 1991 and I paid off all my debt and lived on a cash basis ever since. No debt whatsoever. It's a good feeling, for sure.
About 1o years ago , I did have some credit card debtleftand a company called and said thatthey could settle the debt for half the cost.
I told them, no, I agreed to pay that off, and
I'm a man of my word. I paid it off and destroyed the credit cards!

So, we have two different styles of parsing algorithm for the purposes of this post.
LL(1): Parses from the root of the tree down to the leaves. The grammar directs the parse. The input is validated against the grammar. One token of lookahead
LALR(1): Parses from the leaves of the tree, up to the root, "reducing" as it goes. The input directs the parse. The grammar is validated against the input. One token of lookahead.
Obviously they work in radically different ways despite doing basically the same high level thing (parsing input)
Both of them take the same input - a Context Free Grammar, which is simple a collection of rules of the form:
A -> B C
B -> b
C -> c
C ->
What they do isn't important here, but both algorithms take this stuff as input.
And it occurred to me that both algorithms produce a triple nested array of ints (int[][][]) as output. This is the parse table representing the grammar.
That's a hell of a coincidence. The common inputs I understand, but the triple nested array of ints is just funny considering how different what they represent is.
The parse tables look nothing alike. The columns are different and the rows are different. LALR(1) is actually two tables merged into one - usually called the ACTION and GOTO tables. But it's like an outer join of two tables on a DB the way it's represented
In LL(1) the columns are terminal symbols and the rows are non-terminal symbols. each cell is a rule.
In LALR(1) the rows are STATE indexes, the columns are both nonterminal and terminal symbols, and each cell varies depending on what is happening. For terminals it will be a state ID to jump to, for non-terminals it will be a rule id, and usually the bits of the rule itself follow.
It's bizarre.
3 nested arrays either way.

Edit: Adding Files to the Windows MRU/Recent Document List - Rick Strahl's Web Log[^]
And there it is.
When you right click on an app on your taskbar you get a most recently used file list for the app.
Historically, I thought each app's MRU was proprietary to the app - like how it was stored in the registry was individual to the app.
So how the hell does windows 10 do this?
Basically i want it to happen with my app, and i want to understand it before i go and just dump an MRU in the registry.
maybe my google fu is just off tonight, but after hunting everywhere, including ForensicWiki it seems that i wasn't wrong to assume each app's MRU is proprietary - they appear to be.
The only other possibility that occurred to me was that windows was monitoring all app starts and openfiledialog calls to build its own MRU for each application. However, that doesn't make sense for a number of reasons.
I'm stumped.

I'm staying away from 3rd party components for this app. Plus I'd have to test it to see if it would work with this - and based on the answer i found - it wouldn't at least without additional stuff on my part (registering a file extension with windows - didn't know that was a requirement, but i understand how global MRU management works now at least)
After perusing that component, no it will not work as it does not use the shell API to register recent files

Microsoft *almost* has a PEG parser generator built into .NET
I believe the Regular Expression engine already does memoization in matching.
So all that would really need to be added is
a) an op like PERL5's regex recursion
b) a grammar model for a PEG grammar
c) a simple way to compose a compound series of regex to match the PEG
Unless i miss my guess they really did us all a disservice by stopping with regex.
They made their regex so advanced it may as well be a parser, but for some stupid limitations.

I believe PEG = Parsing Expression Grammar.
Not that I know what that exactly means....

You're right. And PEG is just a style of parsing based on what is essentially a souped up regex engine with backtracking and recursion. Memoization (keeping track of partial matches) is used to make the backtracking feasibly efficient.
Microsoft has implemented like 75% of one maybe in their regex engine.

sorry, it's a style of parsing. PEG stands for "parsing expression grammars" and it's basically a glorified backtracking regex matcher with memoization and recursion.

back of the line mate:
#1. ms did us a disservice by stopping with windows, why not a complete operating system?
#2. ms did us a disservice by stopping with metro (or whatever it's called now), why not a proper window manager
...
not to mention the disservice of things introduced and then dumped, hard & soft (notwithstanding things long promised and never delivered)
not to mention the the disservice of other peoples toys they grabbed (stole, or if that failed squeezed the life/market out of then bought for pennies) and smashed
and not to mention joining other clubs (linux, opensource/github...) and [in their usual approach] swamping those with their ms-only toxic crap (as they've been known to do in the past with iso/industry standards/consortiums)
