@Gribnit You're mixing up "bomb" with "impromptu launch platform". Easily done.

I'd like to hire a buttbuttin to deal with people who plagiarize websites by replacing random words using a thesaurus:
The part of the digesting system motion comes to mind several times (5-8 times). During the controlling organization of the still in the same way answer.
However, stop drinking when the backless seat with three legs changes into water-like (colorless or yellow-colored)
Without any solid field of interest which is an idea of washing out is completed.

@LaoC Hey now, the Word Salad thread is.... Wait, I guess it's here now. Carry on.
Also, WTF is this originally about? My currently-addled brain concludes it must be instructions on how to perform an enema...

Close.. Used to be instructions for a laxative wherever they lifted this from.

StatusL What the hell is "core js" that it's nearly a whole maga bite?!?
Isn't one of the major selling points of this shit that it "compiles down" to "just what you use"?
Fuckin' hell...

Is this a script packer, discrete files, ?? Seems like serving a 0-size
core.js
would work, if indeed it's all backfill.

I think an IDE plug-in is wanting, to mark all pre-existing code as probably pasta until validated or edited.

That would be good. Tortelloni are nice, and many other shapes are pretty good too with some sauce.

@dkf I think we would get plenty of wheel-shaped pasta. A child favourite!

WTF of my day: So I whipped up a small app in .NET7 using WinForms and published that into a self-contained x64-exe (i.e. you just need the .exe itself to have it run on any x64 Windows PC). The application basically reads in an Excel file, displays it using Syncfusion's Spreadsheet plugin, does some calculation which it then displays in the Spreadsheet view.
Works fine on my desktop. Works also fine on my colleague's PC for whom I wrote the app.
Where it does not run at all: On my Surface book. Clicking on the .exe just plain does nothing (i.e. it shows in the task manager for about 20 seconds after which it vanishes again).
Okay, maybe I'll build it from source on my laptop? Got the source code from my Github repo, clicked on "build" and ...
Exception: Parameter (stream) is null
Clicked on the WinForm page itself and where it should show a preview of the Spreadsheet it simply shows nothing. Tried to drag another Spreadsheet onto the designer's view from the toolbox and got Visual Studio displaying the same exception.
is going on here?

self-contained x64-exe (i.e. you just need the .exe itself to have it run on any x64 Windows PC)
I was doing that with Delphi 20 years ago (minus the x64).
Glad to see Microsoft is finally catching up.

It's been a thing for quite some time, you just had to know how to do tell the project the resources and unpack the stream on demand intercepting the library load request order....

That's a sign Windows Error Reporting is hurking a dump.
Syncfusion's Spreadsheet plugin
Did you ensure the dependency's dependencies are also embedded/registered?

... Catching up to what MSVC 6 could do. One of my projects' customers is still using that version precisely to be able to get self-contained builds so things are practical for him to deploy. I understand the reasoning, but it is awful in that it supports only an awkward subset of ancient dialects of C and C++.

The AssemblyResolve thing is easy enough, but I believe a published self-contained thing also packs the config, manifest and assorted stuff.
is me. It took my slow-witted self a bit to understand that Publish step (or
dotnet publish yadayada
) is now required for it to actually make the self-contained thing. I saw the build output with all the garbage jsons and went "you keep saying that word 'single-file'..."

Well, yes, all the needed Nuget packages are installed.

I'm not into humiliation and orgasm denial but I hear the expectation is what makes it pleasurable so I can sympathize. As for MS users continuing to put up with this shit … the only explanation I have is basically the reverse, that it's so painful to use it that anything that gives you an excuse for not using it is its own gratification.

"Looks like they accidentally switched over the strings for no thanks and try it buttons. The try it button should actually be the no thanks button,"
Microsoft are only a small company, you can't expect them to test everything. Especially not the complex stuff like "are the buttons labelled correctly".

Don't we store them in coffins, and just dab them with a bloody cloth to perk them up?

It is pretty neat how they do exactly the same thing they were injuncted not to as soon as they figure enough idiots forgot.

They are compacted together in the Lawyer Dimension, and can be summoned therefrom by sufficient spite, petty officiousness, and/or money.

From the comments, it appears it's not an MS screw-up (for once), but a botched OEM customization.

That never stopped people from picking on the little guy.
-
@DogsB Well, the customization interface shouldn't mess things up like this. And why was the OEM fiddling with customization that affects promotion for more Microsoft products in the first place anyway?

@Gearhead @HardwareGeek The options don't even do anything. I tried selecting "Tons" as well as "Hundredths Pounds" and all the same results showed up in the same order

I'd have expected it to be hot storage.
