Isn't Roslyn open source? How about helping out?

Honestly, I think adding more to the clusterfark that's already there wouldn't help matters.
I am kinda working with it right now to see if I can't write some suitable helpers for it, but there's a significant learning curve even just in using it.

Roslyn dev #1: "We should totally output single line if statements."
Roslyn dev #2: "We should definitely NOT do that..."
Manager: "Alright guys, break it up! I'm going to make a decision here and say we start with a curly brace, but don't end it so everyone's happy!"
Result:
if (something)
{SomeMethod();
NextMethod(); You know this may not even be so far from the truth

Taking inspirations from our friend Dandy's crazy idea[^] I rolled my notebook exhausts with tapes.
Then I showered PASTAS[^]... through 6 browser windows.
Laptop got red hot. All the final bunch of anterrorists ran out, got crushed by me. And some of them died inside. Occasionally falling down the exhaust grills as dead corpse.
Mission success.

Ants dig, but (as far as I know) don't build a nest like bees or wasps would.
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.

Let me increase the PASTA count tonight.

Poor ants. They most likely were not trying to build a nest in your notebook, like ant 1.0 would have done. In my former home a young ant 1.0 queen would try to establish a new nest inside a window frame around this time every year.

The reports of my death since Thursday[^] are greatly exaggerated.

and I've taken all my clothes off and opened all the windows.
I feel so much better but the other people on the bus seem very uncomfortable?
I'm not sure how many it cookies it makes to be happy, but so far it's not 27.

That must be because you opened all the windows, it can get very drafty

May I send this to our customer? He is in the business of testing prototypes of buses and had some issues with the air conditioning in the models intended for some hot countries. Turned out that the air conditioning was good enough and the problems came from the local habits and customs of the passengers. He would just love to read this one.

I had a lengthy conference call this morning with a client regarding one of our applications. At the heart of the matter was the elimination of touch points for their timeclock software. The current software (basically a cloud-based SPA that runs out of a Click-Once browser control) was designed to work on their existing touchscreen POS terminals.
Now they want to go touchless by using fixed scanners for id badges. (for both their POS (another vendor) and our app) For the most part, the app is pretty simple:
0: Enter a PIN (already works with scanner, no problem)
1: Once PIN is validated, choose an option (Cancel, View Schedule, Clock In/Out/Lunch (depending on current status))
2: Take appropriate action and return to the PIN screen.
I've just started thinking about this and so far have come to the conclusion that I will need to add a 'scanner mode' that basically eliminates the choices in step 1...either you're in or you're out and the appropriate action gets triggered automatically and back to 0 for the next one...they should be able to take it out of 'scanner mode' if they want the options back and feel brave.
Now to come up with a time/expense guesstimate and multiply it by 3 for the quote.
The customer now needs to order around 400 scanners and spend the summer getting them setup and ready. Luckily, I don't have to be involved in that part of things.
So, is this touchless movement just a passing fad, or is it here to stay? Will this now create a shortage of continuous mode scanners? (likely built in a very large country in Asia!)
It seems pointless when you consider all the public touchpoints out there...ATMs, debit/credit card readers at the local bodega, gas pumps, door handles, etc. Perhaps eventually, we'll all handle transactions by scanning a tattoo or embedded chip.

Variations on POS "touchless" entries I have seen in our area:
1. Our local Walgreens provides you with a cotton swab when you have to push buttons on the terminal. You press the buttons with the swab, so you don't have to touch them.
2. Our local Target covers the POS terminal buttons with a thin layer of plastic that gets replaced regularly.
I don't know what that means in the long term for POS keypads!
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!
