@loopback0 As I go on to read the forums, which I should've done before, I see their developers claiming that VS is missing too much design-time support functionality. So that's why it can't be dragged onto a form and doesn't respond to anything. Why they wrote all these custom editors is one question, WTF they're using if not VS for their development is another, and HTF you develop a control derived from Control that can't even be moved around is still another.

I have a folder full of icons that I've marked BuildAction=EmbeddedResource but that never seemed to do anything by itself.
Those are the ones you get with
Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream()

I always had to manually add them to the project's main resource file for them to be accessible anywhere.
Those are the ones you get using the auto-generated classes from the main resource file.
@BernieTheBernie said in The Official Status Thread:
With relatively current versions of Visual Studio, you can write C# code in recent versions of the language, but compile it to old versions of the framework.
Note the difference between "language version" and "framework version".
And then you'd reference the dlls in your old projects.You can't target .NET Framework (4.8 and earlier) with any version of C# past 7 because of missing support for
System.Range
andSystem.Index
used in the..
operator, even if you never use that operator. It's .NET Core / .NET 5+ only.

@TwelveBaud Interesting to learn that. My most modern experience was 4.8 with VS 2019 (?). .Net Core and all the weird chaos afterwards... I hope they eventually managed to line things up well again, despite breaking that part of backward compatibility.

Status: Yesterday I got two boxes from Wimp Lo in China. He’s the warehouse worker that they trained wrong as a joke. Everything he could do wrong, he did do wrong. It’s annoying because this shop usually does a decent job, so you never know when this retard will strike.
I used to think smart people did calculus while average people did basic math. Now it’s like I do basic math while the rest of them try to drink their clothes.

@topspin said in The Official Status Thread:
Adding -ldl fixed it, but I don't use dl myself and all the other bajillion indirect dependencies aren't explicitly specified either. Why is this one different?
Haven't got this from a first party source, but what I think is happening:
- libmkl_core.a is a static library, not a dynamic library. Static libraries don't contain references to other libraries (dynamic ones do).
- The linker has seen dlclose() elsewhere and knows where it comes from. I'd guess that 'elsewhere' is a dynamic library, which does internally reference libdl. (However, I'm not quite sure why it would care about this ... maybe an optimization?)
I did read that the linker was made to be more pedantic in situation about like these, and now requires you to specify such dependencies on the command line immediately. Static libraries are pretty much just like your normal object files in regard to deps, so from the linker's view it's pretty much like you used it yourself. (Dynamic libraries would be different.)
Edit: May have been a few posts behind on this thread... :-/

@kazitor Thanks, I hate that idea.
But since they're determining available space, wouldn't it rather be a loop that writes a byte until the disk is full?

@cvi hmm, it’s been a month and I don’t actually remember what I ended up doing. (Does anybody really have a working memory ever since covid… )
It looks like I ended up linking to the .so instead, and also the
-ldl
argument isn’t there anymore. So that probably resolved it and your explanation is about right.

Status: Just had my first unscheduled power cut in many years. I'm guessing it was just a local transformer or fuse or something that went pop; the whole block lost power, but just the block.

Maybe. Or maybe some aging hardware just finally decided to fail. No way to tell. The good thing was the cut was fixed in 25 minutes, 15 less than estimated by the power company. Also, their power outage map had things shown by the time I'd figured out it wasn't any of my circuit breakers, which was nice.

Fucking hate Jemmy. He has a wonderful goat right there, but never named her. Ungrateful bastard. Justice for goat!
It was also shown that she was lactating, so apparently they abandoned her kid(s) too!
I'm rather upset.
Edit: Also, that the goat is voiced by a guy is.... rather annoying. Like, seriously? What the hell!

Can you fake it by implementing those classes as extension methods? I have this in my library for a reason that escapes me at the moment, except that it had to do with tricking the 2.0 compiler into supporting something that should only work in 3.0 or 3.5 versions of the framework. Maybe extension methods?
namespace System.Runtime.CompilerServices { [System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Assembly|System.AttributeTargets.Class|System.AttributeTargets.Method)] public sealed class ExtensionAttribute : System.Attribute { } }

@Tsaukpaetra Take care of unspecific OutOfMemoryExceptions. Windows GDI throws them for any kind of actual errors, it just means "something went wrong in GDI".

I rarely shutdown my laptop. I prefer to hibernate it. But the past few days it has become more difficult to hibernate, since it just won't turn off.
So yesterday I decided to shutdown. Since I was going to close everything, I told Firefox and Windows to check for their respectives updates. There was nothing.
Naturally, the first thing that happened today after booting is that both Firefox and Windows are telling me there are new updates.
-
This is the entirety of the Firefox release notes:
Fixed: Improved migration experience for users switching to the ESR release.

Fuck you, Windows, with your notification saying you will restart after hours for updates which wasn't there before I specifically restarted you to apply the updates you're talking about.

Considering the hardware you usually run on, isn't that normal?

@Zenith Maybe. The actual classes themselves are relatively simple and the language spec even has a full implementation in source code. Certainly worth a shot.

You know, it's been many years since I changed any of my computers' voltages from the defaults and that was undervolting a netbook to get more battery life out of it.
ObStatus: Started looking at wireless headphones to replace the wired ones I don't think I'm skilled enough to repair. Anyone know of a GSMArena-style search site for them that includes features like "headband is made of metal" or "earcups aren't covered in crappy fake leather that flakes apart after the first few times you wear it"? The store sites barely let you filter whether or not they use Bluetooth. :P
