Because stupid NuGet. You have to check in your packages folder for TFSBuild to restore them (IIRC it doesn't allow access to the internet or something else similarly janky).

@Tsaukpaetra That seems odd, since I know our VSTS at work has internet access... Maybe I have to mess with the agent somehow?

Dunno. All I really remember is that we (as in the company I was working at at the time) didn't have time to investigate why it couldn't restore packages unless they were checked in, so it was just blech.
There might be a way in the build configuration to run a NuGet Restore before it actually tries to build, but research.

Apparently the

@Tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:
Anyone know a problem with Windows that could explain this?
IIRC, Windows has a fairly small amount of total space to use for transferring information from a parent process to its child (as opposed to Linux and OSX, which use something like up to 256kB). That space is for all command line arguments, environment variables, and other random stuff (that's usually constant in size). Maybe you're close to that limit? The reasons it fails for some users and not others might be down to different lengths of user names, different other packages, etc., all of which might be best described as “random, beyond your control”. The fix is to not pass so much on the command line, and instead put everything in a file and pass just the name of that over; some Java tools (e.g., javadoc) do this because otherwise they'd be entirely unusable on Windows.

Yeah, the issue in question is that (apparently) we don't want to save the user's token in plaintext (we are working to get rid of the
sDebugUsername
andsDebugPassword
lines in the .ini file as well).As we are puzzling through this we were thinking of altering the angularjs thing our download manager is running, but that seems even more ?..

My dad didn't like us calling it lives, I think because he thought we might think we'd come back to life if we fell in a pit of spikes. It was always chances

@Tsaukpaetra their category name disturbs me. The toilets are not a place where any form of socializing should occur.

@lucas1I tend to stick on headphones when it gets late and I am listening to music basically anything after 10pm.
My sound system is a 800watt Gemini X-02 with 200 watt per channel, it can basically power a small club so I keep the thin on 1 out of 11 (:D)
It was Dark so I put the headphones on ... looked at the time and it was 19.45 .... I am too polite.

@RaceProUK You do C# iirc, so you've probably noticed the oddly high number of hits in Japanese when googling your problems, right? I've always found that fascinating.

@Magus I always assumed most C# programmers were into Anime.

Actually, no: it's extremely rare for me to get Japanese results unless I'm searching for something extremely specific.

@RaceProUK Hmm, happens to me all too frequently. Seeing methods with kanji names has always been fascinating to me.
Admittedly it's only shown them on page 1 2-3 times, and on page 2-3 far more often, but it's interesting to think that it's likely one of the more popular languages over there.
-
@Magus Ah, I rarely go past page 1 in Google

@RaceProUK Google has more than one page? I thought the other pages were a rumour like the front page here?

@loopback0 It's the place you go when infragistics is giving you InvalidProgramExceptions, and other weirdly specific cases :D

@TimeBandit No I haven't . It's just that when I search for something , usually only English results show up . Sometimes , within like three pages , there will be something Arabic-looking . But Japanese seems more common than any other non-English language .
EDIT : Forgot a space before one of my commas .

@Magus I don't understand how you come to the conclusion that this means "it's likely one of the more popular languages over there".
Maybe I just need more coffee

I recall a point at which I'd done so many pieces that were solid color that I found them easier than the ones with stuff on them.

Sometimes, yeah.
It's annoying not being able to see the outline of the piece, though.

@TimeBandit Well, the kind of code I was seeing was typically pretty high-level stuff, which means that at least it's got a good community, much like the frequency I see it at. I'm also pretty sure the Wii U's SDK is Unity or something, which tends to make me think Nintendo themselves likely uses C#.

I was in an office block elevator this morning and took this. It's in Polish but the only thing that matters is the company name. It was, indeed, Schindler's lift.
This amused me far more than it did my fellow passengers.

@coldandtired It's even common over here iirc, and possibly in NZ. They seem to be a very successful international company, propagating this accidental joke into the far future!
