ATI...as much as I may have sworn by them in the past...never more, no matter how much they might have improved. When it comes to ATI, I'm the Linux user still frothing at the mouth because of what Microsoft may have done decades ago.

To be clear, I wasn't accessing the GPU in my code. That was all chrome. My code was just some build tools I'm making

Yes, we know you aren't accessing the GPU in your code. Other operating system services such as Windows Defender are now using the GPU.

That's interesting.
Is that using as in keeping track of what's happening on the GPU, or actually using it for running stuff on it?

Hi,
Windows Defender utilizes the GPU for scanning and some real-time security tasks. I don't think it's fully documented anywhere but you should be able to find some third-pary commentary on the subject. It was implemented over a year ago.
Older hardware may have some overheating problems.

Could you do a RDP connection to your machine to try to shut it down?
I think you could do it even from your cell phone...

If I had known in advance i could have set something up

If you use a RDP to shut your computer down remotely you need to use a command line instruction to do it... I still don't understand why they do this, but...

Got rid of Chrome; too many background threads; even when you weren't using it.

i like when they freeze and you have to kill like 12 chrome processes in task manager before the browser will even start.

The expanse: the whole of Season 4 is out. I feel a binge coming on, but I should spread them out, shouldn't I?
Oooh the choices ... watch em all and to heck with everything else, or watch one at a time ... Nooooo....

YoI only have time to watch one episode a day as you’re on here for the other 23 hours

If there's a break in that pattern, we'll know exactly why.

You cannot have two build actions associated with a single file in the IDE.
Even trying to link to a file under a different folder to make a virtual copy of it in the project does not do it - it should but VS won't let you. If I was still on the VS team I would have raised that as a bug.

Well it's not as if the icon designer could fix a software bug. 
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?

You also still can't open a UserControl in the designer if it is derived from an abstract class - you have to add a intermediate concrete class which adds nothing to the base in order to edit it.
That one was reported by many, many people way back when ...

Can share the reason why you left the VS team?
Are you working now or pursuing personal pet project? Because I was wondering if any real company would give their employee all the time to write Slang with all time and resource constraints?
|
|
|
|
|
I was contracting. A better contract came along, and I was looking at either renewing or moving on, so I moved on.
As far as Slang, I don't work in software any more, this is just for me.

Please don't take this the wrong way...as a software developer--and I mean this in the best way possible--with your obvious knowledge and talent, that seems like a loss for us all.
Whatever the reason(s), I respect that.

I don't take it the wrong way. I burnt out for awhile. But then I came to miss it. But then I went crazy, so now I can't really work with people anymore, or on anyone's timeline, so i can't really do it for money anymore.
I love it though. Been doing it since i was 8. I'm not really sure what else to do with myself if i wasn't a coder so it's a little weird not being in the business.
Don't get me wrong. When i got out, i was glad to be gone. Until i wasn't

I've burnt out in the sense that I no longer have the capacity, or will power, to maintain pet projects in my free time. I earn a paycheck writing code, and I love it, but my free time now has to be something else. I'd rather work on my pet projects, but none of those would pay the bills. My best prospect--be comfortable enough to retire and spend my time coding. Bottom line, I still do love it, I just can't keep having it both as a job and as a hobby. That's what killed it for me.

So...you aren't a coder anymore, at least not for employment, so what do you do with yourself from 9 to 5? And don't hesitate to tell me if this isn't any of my business.
