WTF Visual Studio update

[Sander Rossel]

Nope, my only problem with 16.5.5 was that when I went to "View -> Other windows" (from the menu at the top) it would crash Visual Studio :~ It's not something I use a lot, but it happens. In fact, it happened to me earlier this week, that's why I updated to 16.6 asap. The problem seems to be fixed now.

I am impressed with the small size, it is pretty amazing what minification can do.

That, and a lot of these packages are one-liners, even before minification :sigh: You know, the kind that breaks the entire ecosystem[^]. Another one-line npm package breaks the JavaScript ecosystem | ZDNet[^] IT ALL FALLS APART OVER A FRIGGIN "IS-PROMISE" FUNCTION!? :omg: :wtf: :laugh: :~ X| At least leftpad was a whooping 11 lines :laugh: I'm not sure if "impressed" is the word you're looking for :rolleyes:

I'm so glad I'm having to fiddle only with Visual Studio code.

definitely a case of coders riding on the shoartbus.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

"Insane" is getting the full installer updated, so you can re-run it elsewhere purely offline. Last time I did that, I was downloading tens of GBs regularly. I no longer bother.

Cool, but except for one-off utilities, everything I do nowadays is a web page. Never thought I'd say that, lol.

As for me after downloading and installing the update, I open Visual Studio and it's still the same version as before. So I have to again download and install, this time it tells me I have to restart my computer. I've had issues like that on 2 different computers, where I download and install VS and still it's not updated. What I would usually do is redownload the installer.

Yeah, me too. I still have one customer who has a WinForms application. I didn't make it, but I'm maintaining it. Just last week I wrote a Console app, it just need to check for some files to mail every few minutes and it HAD to run on a local Exchange server. Other than that it's all web nowadays. Although I did speak to a potential customer earlier this year who needed software to interface with (label)printers, scanners and possibly other hardware. A web app isn't going to do that, so it's either WinForms or an alternative. I don't really see the added value of WPF except that it can do some nice graphical stuff that I don't need, Java is out of the question, and I'm not sure if an alternative like Electron has the same maturity as WinForms. The guy put everything on hold because of COVID-19, but if he ever decided to continue that project and I get to be the one that writes it, I may go for WinForms.

The fact is VS is ugly, monolitic, high dependency sh%%t (like Linux kernel). That's why one-line change in one library requires total recompillation and upload tons of bytes.

Installing VS 2019 v 16.6 right now... By far not fully installation, almost nothing on web, nothing on big data, nothing on other OS's Still almost 60 Gb space needed.
