Bob, I thought we were fixed on this issue. Why are you still having issues?!?

@RaceProUK From what they said during the presentation, its main advantage is that it replicates crazily wherever it's requested, and is therefore fairly fast.
Also I ordered the HP Windows Mixed Reality kit, because it sounded more comfortable than Acer's. But during the holidays, Acer promised to start selling a package with motion controllers for 400USD, which is kind of crazy.
I wish there was something more like hololens available at a price I can afford, but having some device that can directly use the stuff sounds good to me for now.
I won't get it until august, but it's basically cheap VR using an actually good SDK. If it turns out I can project VS inside it, this will have been an unexpectedly good investment, but even if not, I must have it. The future is here!

Light traffic in your area with delays up to 56 minutes.
Fuck off Google. That is not "light traffic".

Around here, not unusual. So it could be "light traffic". (and because of the dentist this morning, I get to drive home in it tonight)

I went thru that too! It took them a while to understand that I was not the holder of the card (I was just holding it). They did tell me that it had been canceled and thanked me for letting them know about it.

@accalia The problems with visual studio is the fix almost everything and then release another version with new bugs that you need to learn how to work around. Why I have kept a version or 2 behind for as long as possible.

that reminds me i need to write a quick XML parsing script to convert our solution files to 2017 because for some reason we're no longer licensed for less than that through MSDN..... and honestly it's just easier to convert than deal with it, 99.999% of the shit we do is either webapps that don't change significantly or needs to be burned, exorcized, boiled in holy water, burned again, and burried in a crossroads at the stroke of midnight during a full moon.

Never used XCode, but I've heard nothing good about it. For all the faults in VS, it does at least earn praise in equal measure.
-
@accalia Assuming the solution and project files aren't ancient, VS2017 should be able to open them and convert automatically without much trouble
-
@accalia i have MVC 2 sites that I don't need to upgrade and still using VS 2008. You know why that works because I can use msbuild to fill in the gaps for most of the newer tooling with an afterbuild event with node or something similar. It all runs on the 4.5 CLR fine.
-
Personally, what I'm looking forward to the most is VS2017 Update 1, which'll add support for
PackageReference
s to all project types, so I can convert all our projects, and stop pissing off my co-devs when I update the NuGet packages for a shared DLL :D
-
@RaceProUK said in The Official Status Thread:

yeah, but it doesn';t remove the nuget build steps that vs2013 needed but are handled internally now.
and because nuget is handled internally now the nuget step causes the build to fail.
so..........

@RaceProUK EDMX designer does this irritating thing on 2017 of adding a context1 file which means I have to delete it every time I change something on the EDMX. The really annoying thing is that the file won't show up until I try building the solution.

sure. totes agreee.
only M$ doesn't think we own the licenses for VS <2017 and they audited oru site license so we have their attention. it's literally cheaper to convert to 2017 than it is to pay for the retroactive licenses that we already have but the M$ audit for some reason doesn't think we paid for. i suspect because we never paid for the old licenses under the corporate account but through what turned out to be the personal account of the manager we shitcanned two years ago
or some shenanigains like that. i'm not privy to the details. i just got handed the instructions to convert or else i have to pay all the back licensing out of our departments funds. the funds i wanted to use to increase headcount to avoid driving me to drink..

@accalia Unless there is a security problem, I don't care as long as it works.

it's not a security problem. it's a flipping BUDGET problem.

@accalia I am using the older VS to dev but the newer build system and libs to deploy. I am moving onto python now. If clients want an upgrade ... I will charge them.

Hard to believe that progman.exe still exists in Windows 10...
-
@Tsaukpaetra I did a quick Google, and it appears it's actually a piece of Logitech software called Setpoint, and not part of Windows
-
But then I also found that it might have something to do with 'Launch folder windows as a separate process' being enabled in Explorer
-
And then I found this:
Microsoft removed Program Manager from Windows XP Service Pack 2, and the executable only serves to convert Program Manager shortcuts to Windows Explorer shortcuts. In Windows Vista, PROGMAN.EXE was removed entirely.

There's back version licensing on MSDN accounts?
Or are you guys somehow buying Visual Studio licenses that AREN'T MSDN accounts?
-
@Weng I have plenty of old licenses that are legit.

I mean... I sign up developers from scratch with new MSDN accounts all the goddamn time and every version of VS back to the dark ages is RIGHT THERE in the download section.

Fucking done with this fucking semester. Walked in to my last final at 7:30 p.m., walked out at 8:15 p.m. FeelsGoodMan.
Got my first grade of four (the rest of them are going to take a while), and it was satisfactory. If I made it through a semester of twelve credits maintaining my 4.0 GPA on top of some of the most stressful work projects I've had to date, I win at school. Not at life (judging by my rapidly greying hair), but I've got to take my victories where I can get them.

Also, the only thing I heard about today, in my office, in the hallways, etc. was WannaCry. Despite the fact that, as far as I know, not a single computer in the building (and within the greater enterprise) is susceptible. We're talking tens of thousands of computers in the building, but none of them, whether they're on the Internet or not, are lacking two months of patches; it's simply not done.
Can't wait for this furor to die down. Reminds me of Heartbleed, except obviously the impact is much more visible and understandable to the average end user watching the news. It's like ransomware gone Jersey Shore.
