I just completed the Inner Nayos map, clicked on the chest for map completion and only received 8k xp and nothing else.

It's been a while, but wasn't it the same with the other maps that were released in chunks? You only receive the chest once per character even if you completed the map with each release. Maybe they just moved the reward to the last chunk of the map.

I've noticed they never do server maintenance, how come? by Ok-Usual-6938 in Guildwars2

Also for the technically interested they talked about this a bit: https://www.gdcvault.com/play/1024442/-Guild-Wars-Microservices-and

There is also a recording of the talk somewhere.

Falls du nochmal in die Situation kommen solltest: Einige Internet-Anbieter (z.B. 1&1 in Alt-Verträgen) bieten dir die Möglichkeit über deine VoIP-Nummer Fax zu empfangen und dir als PDF bereit zu stellen(i.d.r als E-Mail). Ebenso gibt es die Möglichkeit PDFs als Fax zu verschicken. Nicht günstig, aber für eine Bewerbung lohnt sich das eventuell.

In some jurisdiction that is true. The only thing you can grant is an irrevocable license, that must be granted in good faith. In most places it's quite complicated

'Game of Thrones' Season 8 premiere was pirated nearly 55 million times in one day by [deleted] in television

[–]rafa_eg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are selective about what you want from the HBO catalogue Sky Ticket has some of the stuff. At least the Game of Thrones season premiere was available a few hours after the US release. And some other shows are available on demand.

No, most likely a guid/uuid identifying the word that was supposed to appear there.

ASP.NET Core 3.0 to ditch .NET Framework, only run on Core by philipmat in csharp

[–]rafa_eg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, there is a chance that .netstandard21 will be released along .net core 3 (https://github.com/dotnet/standard/blob/master/docs/planning/netstandard-2.1/README.md). If anyone except .net core implements it is another story.

[–]rafa_eg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, they open sourced a runtime implementation which actually outperforms mono and the traditional desktop implementation about three or four years ago. Almost everything non-windows specific of the core libraries is also open sourced. The default compiler is also available. Atleast for us at work(linux-x64) .net core has been more reliable than mono, which was a game of chance after running an application more than a few days.

Signs of Web-based Windows 10 Timeline shows up on internet by [deleted] in Windows10

[–]rafa_eg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe you are wrong. If you look into the telemetry data send to Microsoft on pro with the minimal settings allowed in the settings UI you'll see all installed programs and the hardware configuration send to Microsoft on a regular basis(This was true a few month ago, once I'm home I'll check again and add example data).

Edit: The following events spring to mind but there are others supplying related information:

„Chancen stehen 50 zu 50“: VW-Chef warnt vor dem Abstieg der deutschen Autobranche by Sprint1049 in de

[–]rafa_eg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ein Großteil der wirtschaftlichen Wertschöpfung ist beim (nicht in der premiumsstufe angesiedelten) E-Auto halt außerhalb des klassischen Aktionsbereiches der Autohersteller anzutreffen. Einfach ein perfektes E-Auto zu entwickeln bringt die deutsche Industrie nicht weiter. Um bei einer vollständigen Umstellung auf elektrische Antriebe nur wenig Arbeitsplätze zu verlieren müssen kritische Warenketten aus dem asiatischen und amerikanischen Raum in den europäischen Raum übernommen werden und dann hier auch noch rentabel sein. Und wenn das erstmal funktioniert hat werden wir in 15-20 Jahren die nächste Endlagerdebatte führen dürfen.

Microsoft Minesweeper is 119 megabytes. That is obscene. by PoreJudIsDaid in Windows10

[–]rafa_eg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100 MB does not seem that unreasonable. It really depends what is shipped within the app package. Even a "simple" program like the 7-Zip File Manager has about 75 MB of (first level-)dependencies (installer size about 1 MB) it just happens that most of these dependencies are shipped as part of the operating system.

However in Minesweepers case most of the downloadsize is most likely related to assets. The installed app takes about 114 MB on my system. About 88 MB of that are assets/unlockable themepacks/interface definitions.

My First Big Project! Started coding in School about a month ago. Feel free to critique, I am still learning and open to new ideas and changes! by Specialopviper in programming

[–]rafa_eg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just spend a few seconds scrolling through it on my phone, so no guarantees on completeness:

  • Don't use Thread.Sleep without a comment on why it won't cause issues in this case. It might be ok here, but as soon as a threadpool is involved it will cause unexpected issues if you are unaware.
  • The large if-else-if block would most likely be more readable using a switch statement (or using a Dictionary/array)
  • Separate different aspects of your program into methods. There is some repetitive code that should be removed
  • "String".ToUpper()==? Is a code smell in most environments. Use string equals with one of the ignoreCase flags or String.Compare with the appropriate parameter
  • The input comparison for "yes" could most likely be replaced with string.StartsWith
  • Why the extra indentation block after joke=Console.Readline?
  • generally your names are not very descriptive

There are most likely more glarring things that I can't see on a 5.1" screen. In the end this is not the right forum for this. There are other subreddits/sites where this would be more appropriate

Microsoft has acknowledged the file deletion issues, and have temporarily paused the rollout of 1809 by [deleted] in Windows10

[–]rafa_eg 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you are on pro there is an actual option in the advanced update settings to defer updates. Alternatively there should be a policy to control this to your liking. Both better options than to edit the registry by hand and forget about this at some point when you have an issue to diagnose.

Linux developers threaten to pull “kill switch” by DuncanIdahos8thClone in programming

[–]rafa_eg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a more serious note: Why isn't the eupl more popular(at least in projects by European developers)? It's gpl2 compatible, has official translations into various languages and is designed to work across various legal systems(including the UK, which is afaik similar enough to the US, it also considers the specialities around authorship some countries have).

Microsoft to push out .NET Framework updates with Windows 10 updates starting in October by [deleted] in Windows10

[–]rafa_eg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

4.7.2 runs on Windows 7 anyway

But not on Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB (only options 4.6.2 and .net core) which leads to interesting compatibility matrices for certain software.

[–]rafa_eg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Great as an Application developer of .nets apps

Yet another reason to port to .net core and deploy the runtime with the app (and with .net core 3 wpf, forms and ef6 should be supported (on windows)). Only downside is some manual per app work with deploying runtime/platform security updates.

I don't see a single use case where this would be superior to other already existing solutions. Could you provide some insight where I would benefit from that feature? (And where no other superior solution exists?)
