I think the pigs will appreciate embraces more than having heads stuck in them.

(e.g.
{ "CancelButton":"Annuller" }
: There's only one "l" in "Annuler".
(: Wiktionary claims it used to be spelled the way you wrote it, but that spelling is no longer considered valid. So I guess you can play the card.)
That's annular.

Raymond was talking about overloading
operator&
today...
And in that link:
There’s another edge case that can cause trouble, and that’s the case where the comma operator itself has been overloaded.¹

¹ Shame on you.

Just being signed into Twitter was usually good enough for "age-restricted" content, I guess they changed it. It's a meme but I guess Twitter doesn't have the mechanism to distinguish between "adult" and "sensitive".
Fine, I'll set it to something far enough in the past.A few times?!

@topspin that just reminds me that Hot Fuzz is 15 years old

@loopback0 and I still haven’t watched the third flavor cornetto.
(And I’m too lazy to get ole pirate hat out.)

@topspin IMO Hot Fuzz is the best of the trilogy but World's End is worth watching.

That movie's teaser trailer is terrible though.
The most upvoted comment you can find on any copy is always "Don't watch the trailer, it's one big spoiler!"

Oracle does it again...
(good sentence structure there...)
-
@dcon not sure what the problem with the sentence structure is, besides subject and object nouns being indecipherably long.
The real question is: why doesn’t it install this shit itself?

Well, if it did, this post wouldn't exist.

Oh, they do. I'm sure the lawyers on their legal team are pretty good.

The good news is that you can now directly create a VM that's compatible with Win11. (They've added TPM 2.0 support). I had done the kludges to install it previously, but then 22H2 wouldn't install because it was now incompatible. I didn't feel like jumping thru regedit hacks again.
-

That makes at least some sense: they probably didn't want to include a fuckton of stuff you have to download with every update even though you probably have it, and the way Microsoft changes their download URLs it's probably useless to try and download it automatically once the installer finds you don't have it.
Then again, considering there are more mutually incompatible versions of this runtime shit that than there are applications using it, just so nobody would think the first word in "shared library" meant anything at all, not including it is a silly idea to begin with, which is exactly what I'd expect from Orrable.

By that we obviously mean nukes in a suitable orbit.

It goes against the recommendation. The redistributable exists exactly so that installers can include it, and install it as needed. And it's basically just the msvcr160.dll (or what is the underlying version), it isn't that big.

I just wanted to check how big it is, so I checked at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist which sounded promising. Under the headline "Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022" you can download the "17" version which may or may not be the proper one for all four release years. I guess not, but at least they have the 2005 version available if you happen to need it.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/releases/2019/redistribution sounds even more promising and it has a section called "Distributable Code Files for Visual Studio 2019" which doesn't have any downloads, only excruciating detail on its licensing.
Of course you can go to https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/older-downloads/ that looks optimized to be in a top place for a "download visual c++ 2019 redistributable" search (on Bing no less) and have MS help you to all kinds of subscriptions and newsletters before they take you to the download the URL suggests would be there. Or not, I didn't give them my soul so I didn't get anywhere.
VirtualBox for Windows clients sure like

That single release did work for me. Hence how I could confirm actually creating a Win11 VM without doing gymnastics.

@hungrier What did you do wrong? So totally wrong that you arrived at such a result?

@loopback0 could be worse, could’ve launched Xcode.

@topspin But then he wouldn't know about the error because it wouldn't be finished, yet.

Hey, VS, stop shoving that useless crap into my face! Give me back the perfectly functional Output tab I was just looking at and that actually contains the info I need!
I don't care right now about those pointless linter warnings in that other project I'm not even building or using right now and that you insist on always putting on top! And no, "no operator found that takes a left-hand operand of type X" by itself doesn't tell me anything useful, I also need those "could be this_overload or that_overload" messages, the "while trying to match the argument list (X, const Y)", and most importantly the series of "see reference to function template instantiation" messages that tell me where and what the problem actually is.

</rant>It used to work that when you selected (or double-clicked or something) the error that it moved cursor in the output tab to the message, so you'd just switch the tabs and read those important messages. I am not sure they didn't break it. It wouldn't be unlike Microsoft to break it.

Ah now look at that, double-click not only opens the source file where the error was detected, but also scrolls the now-invisible Output tab to the corresponding location. Yay I suppose, much discoverable, such useful.
Or, in the Output tab, if I'm not already looking at the message I need to see, I could just CTRL-Home then click "Go to next message" and I'd be looking right at it, because there's a good chance all the later messages are just a consequence of that initial derp I made.
