Status: Visual Studio wasn't kidding when it recommended to use an x86 Android emulator instead of the ARM emulator because the former would be 10x faster.
In fact, the ARM version is so slow you need to start it up and let it boot before you try deploying because you'll run into a timeout otherwise.

I feel like someone should be selling ARM coprocessor cards.
Like the old x86 coprocessors you could get on M68k macs.

They have something like that. Usually they come packaged in an all-in-one device with a variety of other features like a touch screen, camera, speakers and sometimes a sim card slot.

Idea!
Take old cell phones, turn them into PCI cards that can be used as an ARM coprocessor...

Status: Spent a few hours yesterday trying to add Entity Framework to a Portable Class Library used by a Windows Universal app and a WPF app. From what I can tell, you just can't do that.
People say you can, in various years with various versions of things, but their workarounds don't seem to work anymore.
:/
Really wish the EF team wasn't crazy. Or that someone knew anything about what they've broken now...

I hate to admit it, but one of the guys Boss hired "behind my back" is actually working out great. He's amazingly productive, he's asking the right questions and, looking over his shoulder, his code seems to be pretty decently factored.

Over/under on how many more we discover in the next 2 hours before the go/no-go decision point?

Ooh err... our authorization for external connections expired... oh yeah, I was supposed to know that was going to happen... well, guess I remember now. Got an emergency extension until we can figure out "WTF ARE WE GOING TO DO?!"
Just another day.

Status: staying late to oversee a release. Has to go in earlier than usual as the infrastructure guy can't stay as late as usual.
Obviously, this is the release where Octopus Deploy shits itself and we have to scramble to run it manually. Then there's an error that somehow didn't come up in testing.
Long story short, it's been rolled back and now I have to try and work out WTF has happened.
Again.
I hate maintaining shit written by incompetent third parties

Status: So apparently .Net's
HttpClient
lets youawait async
all the things. Which is fine. But of course, this is (at best) HTTP/1.1, which means everything is handled in order.Was really scratching my head wondering why a series of requests that should have taken only 1 second each instead took 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 (etc) as they all stacked up.
I seriously doubt there's a HTTP/2 client available for .Net 4.6, but even if it were, I don't think the webhost has it enabled on their side anyways.
....
In other news, who would like to recommend an http connection pool utility in .Net?

@Tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:

You sure about that? :P
HTTP/2 is a new version of the HTTP protocol that provides much better connection utilization (fewer round-trips between client and server), resulting in lower latency web page loading for users. Web pages (as opposed to services) benefit the most from HTTP/2, since the protocol optimizes for multiple artifacts being requested as part of a single experience. HTTP/2 support has been added to ASP.NET in the .NET Framework 4.6. Because networking functionality exists at multiple layers, new features were required in Windows, in IIS, and in ASP.NET to enable HTTP/2. You must be running on Windows 10 to use HTTP/2 with ASP.NET.

Pretty sure that applies only to the HTTP server sides, the actual client side does not, unless you're using .Net Core on Windows 10 (of a certain unknown build) or using UWP.
None of which is true for me. :(

@Tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:

Apparently it does this automagically anyways, but the default limit is 2 because RFC said so.
Luckily, in App.Config, I can give it the middle finger in a nice place and bumped it up to 100!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <configuration> <system.net> <connectionManagement> <add address="*" maxconnection="100" /> </connectionManagement> </system.net> </configuration>
That's not too abusive, right?
Considering we're expecting thousands of players connecting through this, I think this is rather modest...

Oh hey, that's kind of a big thing to have left off the runbook.
On the one hand, yay dress rehearsals. On the other hand, this one thing is only even necessary in dev, so it's not like the stage or prod runbooks need updated to account for this miss.

Web developers, is this a common way to post a job ad in your business?
There's a small WTF here -- I only checked the source of the page because it didn't load properly and I wanted to figure out why. Do I want to work for someone who can't get pages to load properly?
