Shaggar posted:nah its still dice. you can tell because all the bugs make no sense ex: after a match clicking the quit button wont quit until after the next map loads. at least they figured out how to do an in-game server browser instead of making to re-launch all the assets in the memory after every round. Definitely couldn't just re-use needed assets loaded in to memory or run a checksum against them to make sure no bits flipped. They probably had garbage memory management and leaks all over the place and the full re-launched covered that up

battlelog was the one that ran in your web browser through a plugin right? when i played bf3 with a friend of mine it was possibly the worst server browser id ever used in a game and it would crash a lot i have a hard time believing theres much worse

how the gently caress is microsoft so bad at software updating still can't do in app update fetching in ssms, literally tells you there's an update and when you click it opens a browser window to the download then if something halts the update, no option to kill the blocking process and you can only quit the updater. no manually quitting the blocking process and continuing, you have to restart the update process from the beginning.

They probably had garbage memory management and leaks all over the place and the full re-launched covered that up they still dump most of the assets each round which is I suspect the cause of the inability to quit until the next round loads. gotta wait for the load to complete so we know what we have to dump on quit.

But mostly it's the lasting legacy of Rob Mensching, who, as I've previously mentioned, should be buried under printouts of wix files and burned to death.

VS team thinks you will only ever do application first design and that the db wont ever exist without the app. This is totally retarded but its how the VS db tools are designed. They work fine the way they're designed but when you use a db that was designed for data first the vs tools totally poo poo the bed. likewise the sql server team (correctly) believes in a data first approach. they also don't give any shits about making things easier for developers so there are no source control or schema versioning tools built into sql server or ssms.

Which tools (e.g. EF, database projects, schema compare) are you categorizing under "VS team" and which are you categorizing under "SQL Server team?"

VS, entity framework, and vs db project stuff are vs team and sql server and SSMS are sql server team. having talked to someone on the vs team about this they really cant fathom why the application wouldn't always have total control over the db.

keep in mind that SSMS is the management tool for sql server so the sql server team has incentives to keep it up to date with what they're doing from a server management standpoint. the developer focused components of SSMS are what continues to suffer. I mean it wasn't until like 6 months ago that they bothered to fix intellisense and that was a configuration error. intellisense was fully complete feature wise but SSMS defaulted it to not work because of the default configuration. they refused to spend 30 seconds to change the configuration value and it was broken for years.

that's also something you can partially blame the vs team for cause why in the gently caress did they create an intellisense mode that shows you whats available but doesn't complete it for you?

they work pretty much the same for me in that they both love to bring in poo poo totally unrelated to what you're typing. ex: vs bringing in every class from the included namespaces and ssms including every schema object and reserved word.

Shaggar posted:VS, entity framework, and vs db project stuff are vs team and sql server and SSMS are sql server team. If you had put the database projects under SQL Server team then I would have agreed with you. But the database projects just model a database without any reference to an application... it's difficult to see how that's app-first. Also the database projects are owned by the SQL Server team and have been since ~2010, when they were revised and rebranded as SSDT.

premium quality hardwarequote:Hundreds of Surface Pro 4 owners have been complaining about screen flickering issues on their tablets. A thread over at Microsoft’s support forums shows that the problems have been occurring for more than a year, and most devices affected are out of warranty. Dubbed “Flickergate,” a website to report the issues claims at least 1,600 Surface Pro 4 owners have experienced the screen flickering problems.

a lot of databases really are just backing stores for a single application. the arbitrary impedance problems with using relational dbs that way are a big factor in why people have moved towards schema-less databases, even though the idea of a schema actually fits pretty well with a lot of application programming languages

fun fact: ports on the surface dock, especially the display port, will just die at random. they'll stay dead until you do some arcane combination of powering/unpowering and docking/undocking that causes the thing to reset, at which point they'll work, until they don't again. the surface brand has been nothing but poorly made trash since its inception, but people like them.

quote:In a support article for service and support of Windows and Office, Microsoft has revealed you'll need to upgrade to Windows 10 if you want the latest version of Office without subscribing to the company's Office 365 service. It's a move that's clearly designed to push businesses that are holding off on Office 365 into subscriptions, as the standalone Office 2019 software will only be supported on Windows 10 and not Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 machines. Microsoft is also altering the support lifecycle for Office 2019, so it will receive 5 years of mainstream support and then "approximately 2 years of extended support."

quote:An organization that favors stability and perpetual licenses that deploys Windows 10 LTSC 2018 and Office 2019 will, in late 2025, be in the peculiar situation of having desktop systems that remain supported for three more years, but with no supported version of Office to actually run on them: Office 2019's support will have expired, and Office 2022 will require the use of Windows 10 LTSC 2021. One wonders what these systems are supposed to do for the final three years of their supported life.
