they changed certain apis and even structs and told nobody about it
this is how anti virus software breaks all the time
@vapefruit Applications shouldn't be hooking into anything that low level. If it isn't an exposed API things will break
@Deleted User most anti viruses have stopped hooking into things and are using the obcallbacks provided by microsoft which promised to be more sustainable
except they aren't
Driver signing rules IMHO is fine as that is something kernel level.
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
Basically someone has used reflection to use a private method and when the .NET team changes it that lib breaks
@Deleted User yeah I dont do much work with C# though so it's not a personal concern of mine
Well it is the same sort of complaint. People basically used undocumented APIs and it broke a load of code and caused people pain
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.
There was one engineer that posted some articles about it on his msdn blog.
@DanielKO I am aware, however that is them being nice.
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
@Durtle02 ??? what they aren't bad as a rule
lmao they're not bad they're terrible
setup thread
ill start
How do you even type?
I'm guessing they move the piano when they aren't using it
>inb4 he uses the white keys to chat, and black keys to game.
that would be impressive actually
@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.
@DanielKO obviously they use the keyboard 😄
Aren’t there better free sites then Wordpress?
@Deleted User I run servers and I have a few where we host WordPress sites, did you need one?
No
@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)
If you're just looking for a host DreamHost is pretty hard to beat in terms of cost/performance
lots of features too, and little hassle
github works for static sites at zero cost
@Deleted User I am going to be waiting for that reason why Flask is bad
Flask is great
@Deleted User has a problem with it
@Deleted User lets hear why?
in favor of what?
i prefer ReactJS + Redux with traditional server (nginx, Apache), or Isomorphic Flux + ReactJS with NodeJS.
apples and oranges then.
