The code will be the same way you left it no matter how long you're gone.
The missus, not so much.

I big to differ. Both degrade over time.

Yes, the code will not change it's behavior/logic based on the time I ignore it. I'm the boss of my code, 'the missus, not so much'.

That reminds me...it's been a while I've watched them. Years.
I must've seen each one at least 10 times, and it never got old. I've just been re-watching them less frequently.
Maybe I should make a point of watching them during the holidays. Hopefully they hold up. Maybe I should wait for the inevitable 4K editions...
[Edit]
"Mid-2020" is the word for the 4K versions. I guess next year then...

What are they trying to hide? Or are they actually trying to get more people to use them?

One argument is that information about your potential health problems (for example) can be secretly sold by the companies who keep the data bases. This sounds perfectly reasonable to me. The data bases can also be hacked for nefarious purposes. I'll just stay away - far away!

The Pentagon's already got all the DNA samples it wants from its employees.
They get the rest of the population from those very same "private DNA test kits" you allude to. It was news last year; by now it shouldn't be news to anyone anymore.

In parsley you can now use a "where" clause to further constrain the parse using C# code.
My gosh this will help with C# parsing.
I'm bound and determined to get Parsley to parse slang and build the codedom tree from it.

Probably not that. I mean you can, but you'll never get null back from the parser so it will always pass.
but you can do things like check a value so
Identifier = verbatimIdentifier | identifier : where { return !_IsKeyword(context.Value); }
Which will eliminate keywords (using a helper _IsKeyword() method defined elsewhere) so they don't show up as Identifiers
note that i have both caps and lowercase identifier here. Caps is the non-terminal version. The "smart" one. whereas identifier is simply:
identifier='(_|[[:IsLetter:]])(_|[[:IsLetterOrDigit:]])*';

As I have the week off, I've decided to take the time to do something about my aging Server 2008 R2-based WSUS server - instead of migrating or updating it to Server 2019, I'm recreating it from scratch. Also part of the reason I want to re-do it is that I'd like to tinker with the WSUS database (finding WSUS's built-in reports rather lacking), and by default, WSUS creates its own little private SQL instance and MS goes out of its way to make it unnecessarily hard to access (not that it's impossible - just not straightforward). I have a VM dedicated to hosting SQL databases, so it's the perfect candidate for doing just that.
My bandwidth is rather limited--which is the reason I use WSUS at all - to keep all my systems - physical or virtual - up to date without having to download the same updates over and over again. I can't begin to calculate how much bandwidth it's saved me.
One of the problems however is that, even though you can deselect any product or software category you're not interested in, there's still thousands of updates you still might not need - it doesn't automatically deselect (or give you options to deselect) superseded updates, betas, things for ARM64 or Itanium, etc.
I've been using PowerShell cmdlets to decline updates that should be skipped for these and other reasons. While it's not a complex process, I am spending quite a bit of time exploring various properties of updates to try to determine whether they should be accepted or declined.
My question: Would there be enough interest in this sort of script to make it worth posting here, perhaps as a tip? I don't intend to put a lot of spit and polish into this - basically put something together that shows just enough to get someone going.

I'm not interested in doing that myself (it's not something I think I need) but I'd say "go for it" - tips cover a lot of ground, so it's going to be of interest to somebody!
If nothing else, think of it as as a "refresher course" for when you start to do it again in ten years time ...
