I would, but my installer didn't want to let me skip past the "Enter your product key" step.

Ah. Well I'd suggest using a KMS gvlk key, but that probably wouldn't work either...

Status: Guess what

does?If you guessed "Crash the whole program with nothing more than "Error occurred on line 1146 of LevelActor.cpp of LoadedWorld is null", you'd be right!
Why not write a helpful message, like "World %s could not be loaded"? Dunno, but it's not for lack of logging facilities:
In fact, lemme fix that:
Now was that really so difficult?

Mapping out our systems for a project. I get to the database and decide to flowchart our stored procedures.
About a third of the way through i decide to create a graphic where i take all the little flowcharts and put them all together with arrows that show which stored procedures call other stored procedures.....

@Atazhaia Yeah, Windows 8 doesn't let you (easily) install without activating to make it harder to just install a crack/loader/whatever like people did with Windows 7.
Windows 10 OTOH can be downloaded, installed and run fine without activating... ever. The only restriction is it doesn't let you change the theme.

I got a Win10 install in a VM that I run without a key, as I'm not gonna pay a lot of money just for testing purposes. I think I can live without the ability to change the background on that one. Which, interestingly enough, also was a case of Win7 hanging on install. I blame dodgy EFI implementation for the install fails, as both the VM and the other failing computer requires EFI-capable OS or I'd have ran Win7 on both of them.

Wrote my first UWP app, containing most of the modern techniques (split views, semantic zoom, etc.) It's come a long way since Windows 8 and once you stop thinking the WPF way it's not too bad.
-
@coldandtired said in The Official Status Thread:
thinking the WPF way
Not sure what that is. Should I be thankful?
I mean, I'm maintaining some (very) basic WPF apps at the moment, but I haven't felt myself thinking a different way, just that it's annoying to XML my way around the designer...

status: oh shit, this looks like an issue with the SSD I think...
I can't seem to write the partition records...
Maybe that would explain why Chrome would consistently forget my user profile data, it can't actually save anything and Windows must be swallowing the write errors for some reason...

So, how much you wanna bet that doing an h2testw at this point is a BAD IDEA?
I'm afraid I don't believe that write rate....

Mainly that you have much more freedom. There's still a lot missing from UWP but it seems that most things are still possible.
When I started the app a week ago I chose UWP. I then spent a day frustrated that it couldn't do what I needed (mainly reading Access files), so I switched to WPF.
I then spent so long trying to get it to look somewhat modern that I switched back to UWP and tried something else, and it felt much more smooth.

STATUS very amused.
The shit has hit the fan in a major way and to make a long story short we have to reduce ram usage. My coworker made the suggestion that if we reduce the font size of the source code it might half the amount of ram the app is using. I think our CEO might buy it.

Abridged summary of the last week's attempt to diagnose an issue:
: We're not getting exports from you!
: I've looked into the issue, and found no issues: the exports are working fine.
: How do you send the exports: POST or GET?
: Via FTP, the way we've been doing for months because that's what you wanted.Status: I'm now waiting for the following to happen:
: Why are you doing that? You're meant to sent them via POST!
: You never informed us of the need to change the delivery method.
: You should have changed it already!

A bottle of red/white wine can give you good sleep, plus make you smell like alcohol so you can claim you're drunk.
