There's a couple of things it'd be nice to make, but it all depends on "can I get my head round CAD?"
And at the moment, that's a total unknown. No point in arranging a Christmas present from Herself if I'm never going to use it ...

Is there not some Q&A page somewhere where you can put some old guys to work? Where is the hard part?
(X,Y,Z) := vertex
two vertices := edge
three edges := trangle
one or more triangles := polygon

Now draw it out, add a thread and a matching nut, wire tidy for the USB leads, ...
I'm not planning on making simple things (or I'd grab some wood and a router ... )

No doubt something illegal to go with his new profession of burglar.

Burglar? Really? I heard of a programmer who ran off to become a bush pilot. That's something I would also do.

That shows that you are not a bushman.

Is the correct answer; you are up tomorrow.
I think you can guess the theme I was going for ...
I was going for an easy one, since it's a holiday in the US: the only day of the year they celebrate the people they spend the rest of the year belittling, abusing, and underpaying. Strange place.

Well, there are a couple of potential themes, but I have an idea which one it was you were suggesting.

Pick one and go for it!

from the why isn't there a better way department:
var l = GetProperty("videos", (IList<object>)null);
return Tmdb.FromJsonArray(l, (d) => new TmdbVideo(d));
all that lambda is for is to call the appropriate constructor.
internal static T[] FromJsonArray<T>(IList<object> array,Func<IDictionary<string,object>,T> creator)
{
if (null == array)
return null;
var result = new T[array.Count];
for(var i = 0;i<result.Length;i++)
{
var d = array[i] as IDictionary<string,object>;
if (null != d)
result[i] = creator(d);
}
return result;
}
Why?
because I can't have a contract - either an interface, a base class, or a template constraint that specifies a certain constructor signature.
This should have been in with .NET 2.0, 3.5 at the latest. That it wasn't in with 4 just floors me, especially seeing as to what the serializer stuff in the dotnet framework has to go through for its constructor requirement.
Reflection? Really? It might even be faster than using a stupid lambda (but probably not)

I agree.
The next big language will resolve all this.

what gets me is all the "features" they've added to C# 8 that make it unreadable, but i think this feature is still missing (and would require runtime support)

Yeah.. I have been wanting to post an article on that for at least 2 years... getting lazy!

But by all mean, enjoy!

Relatable content. People here think I love parsers, but they're just a hobby horse of mine, and I've flogged them to death so now i'm working on the next thing.

It's just frustrating, and one of the many reasons binary generics are inferior to source based templates.
Maybe when they get done making the language look like trash they can implement templates in C#
Although, i ended up needing to do it this way anyway, it turns out, so i won.

Today I took some more pictures of the Huey. I need them because now it's time to order some decals to finally finish the job. Well, almost.
Look what the same model looks like when you order it painted and ready to fly: El Cheapo[^]
The landing gear is all wrong, not very miny details, almost no windows and look what they did with the front window with its mounting brim and very visible screws to hold it in place!
Well, I have not installed any windows yet, but at least i have a complete set. Since my last post I have corrected countless places where the paint ran under the masking tape and painted on the bigger markings with the help of custom paint masks. And most of the parts are now installed.
Take a look![^]
You know what? I still am not happy. Even in sunlight the details are not very visible. The new markings already help, just as the decals will, but it's still a big, mostly green thing.
I have stolen a great idea from the guys who build model tanks. They have the same problem. A tank is a big green thing and the details of the model just disappear. So what do they do? They paint on 'dirt' or fade the paint with strongly thinned oil paint. I gave it a first try by painting dark shadows into the lines of the doors, the rails of the side doors and some air slits. It was not easy to do because it's the exact opposite of what I did up to now. No more masking and working cleanly. Now I'm deliberately messing it up almost randomly.
Takes a little to get used to, but it looks promising. After the decals are on, I'm going to do my best to get rid of that boring pristine look.
