they changed certain apis and even structs and told nobody about it

2018-06-07 18:29:14 UTC  

this is how anti virus software breaks all the time

2018-06-07 18:30:01 UTC  

@vapefruit Applications shouldn't be hooking into anything that low level. If it isn't an exposed API things will break

2018-06-07 18:30:57 UTC  

@Deleted User most anti viruses have stopped hooking into things and are using the obcallbacks provided by microsoft which promised to be more sustainable

2018-06-07 18:31:03 UTC  

except they aren't

2018-06-07 18:32:06 UTC  

Driver signing rules IMHO is fine as that is something kernel level.

2018-06-07 18:32:58 UTC  

Even with high level libraries e..g. C# there are problems with people using reflection in certain libraries between .NET version that are compatible e.g. 4.0 vs 4.5 for example

2018-06-07 18:33:35 UTC  

Basically someone has used reflection to use a private method and when the .NET team changes it that lib breaks

2018-06-07 18:34:50 UTC  

@Deleted User yeah I dont do much work with C# though so it's not a personal concern of mine

2018-06-07 18:38:29 UTC  

Well it is the same sort of complaint. People basically used undocumented APIs and it broke a load of code and caused people pain

2018-06-07 19:51:14 UTC  

MS had (not sure if they still do) a division to handle compatibility with older software. Most of their job was identifying which part of the program was using some API wrong, how it just worked by accident, and then replicate the happy coincidence in newer Windows versions, whenever it detects the program doing it wrong.

2018-06-07 19:51:55 UTC  

There was one engineer that posted some articles about it on his msdn blog.

2018-06-07 19:53:22 UTC  

@DanielKO I am aware, however that is them being nice.

2018-06-07 19:53:29 UTC  

One app, I think from Adobe, would forget to initialize a struct to ask for a font. Another, was an audio driver, that would just get stuck in an infinite loop, and the vendor would refuse to fix it.

Never use GoDaddy, they're scammers

2018-06-08 05:27:00 UTC  

@Durtle02 ??? what they aren't bad as a rule

2018-06-08 05:27:15 UTC  

lmao they're not bad they're terrible

2018-06-08 14:43:48 UTC  

setup thread

2018-06-08 14:43:51 UTC  

ill start

2018-06-08 14:58:06 UTC  

How do you even type?

2018-06-08 15:03:49 UTC  

I'm guessing they move the piano when they aren't using it

2018-06-08 15:23:35 UTC  

>inb4 he uses the white keys to chat, and black keys to game.

2018-06-08 15:33:22 UTC  

that would be impressive actually

2018-06-09 09:49:19 UTC  

@Durtle02 Dunno what you are on about, at least in the UK they seem pretty decent. My mate is using them for a few wordpress sites and everything works fine.

2018-06-09 09:50:08 UTC  

@DanielKO obviously they use the keyboard 😄

2018-06-09 10:04:51 UTC  

Aren’t there better free sites then Wordpress?

2018-06-09 13:39:15 UTC  

@Deleted User I run servers and I have a few where we host WordPress sites, did you need one?

2018-06-09 13:39:29 UTC  

No

2018-06-09 14:44:54 UTC  

@Deleted User for ease of use and user support Go Daddy is really good from my experience with them. I haven't had a bad experience with them, even the tech support was pretty helpful (I am a .NET dev so apache stuff / nginx stuff I have a hard time with)

2018-06-09 16:24:57 UTC  

If you're just looking for a host DreamHost is pretty hard to beat in terms of cost/performance

2018-06-09 16:25:13 UTC  

lots of features too, and little hassle

2018-06-09 16:57:32 UTC  

github works for static sites at zero cost

2018-06-09 16:58:18 UTC  

@Deleted User I am going to be waiting for that reason why Flask is bad

2018-06-09 16:58:47 UTC  

Flask is great

2018-06-09 16:59:24 UTC  

@Deleted User has a problem with it

2018-06-09 16:59:41 UTC  

@Deleted User lets hear why?

2018-06-09 17:00:16 UTC  

in favor of what?

2018-06-09 17:00:52 UTC  

i prefer ReactJS + Redux with traditional server (nginx, Apache), or Isomorphic Flux + ReactJS with NodeJS.

2018-06-09 17:01:46 UTC  

apples and oranges then.
