today in random microsoft gripes: why does dfrs replication fail silently after it hits an unknown number of transient errors, then never resume? why do i need to go into the debug logs to determine this has happened? what's so bad about the error handling process that this critical loving problem doesn't trigger a windows event log error at all anywhere?

visual studio’s pull request integration is really useless

in the tfs web app i can view a branch’s changes inline, make comments, update PR status etc. it would be super useful to be able to do all that in vs while having access to the full solution at the same time

part of the problem is that there's an internal tool for code reviews, so the issue goes somewhat unnoticed in devdiv.

i hear they're working on proper support, though.

his subpixel layout and your subpixel layout are different so what looks good on his display looks bad on yours

alternately, it also looks bad on his display because he has it tuned wrong

you have to calibrate cleartype for your particular display for it to look nice, it is dependent on contrast, brightness, viewing angle and subpixel arrangement

maybe they ran the wizard and deliberately chose all the worst options

Also scaling will screw up subpixel rendering in screenshots even if the pattern is LCD layout is the same.

no, text looks fine elsewhere, it's some bullshit i had to do to firefox's text rendering specifically, so that the text in yospos was even remotely readable

nothing you do to the rendering engine is going to make yospos readable

can we blame this on microsoft?

imagine having such market control that you can literally just dump out a puzzle box of poo poo and force your customers to figure out what they need instead of having any sort of rational scaling.

by 2030 it's gonna be like buying fruit, every single processor will be sold as long as it physically boots and it's up to you to find the ones in the bin that work for you.

I'm giving Intel the finger and going with Epyc. It's gives me way more calcs/dollar and my application can scale wide. Those CPUs are looking really good for most workloads these days

Wild EEPROM posted:

the reason is because of all of the various licensing based on whatever oracle decides so you can buy an intel cpu that gets you max performance without having to renegotiate your license

so really it’s Larry’s fault

I'm p.sure its because Intel's yield on their current process is garbage so they swing for the fences but end up having to bin out in a million different configs depending on how hosed the cores/clock/cache is but are still trying to squeeze every single dollar out of that wafer.

I recommend Intel still for single-app gaming. Like you wanna GAME HARD and don't run anything in the background.
Ryzen if you stream.
