Debugging, running Entity framework's Update-Database command, looking at it slightly sideways. It always goes through the whole build cycle.
What happened to the days of simply tracking project dependencies and file changes, and when youhit F5 it says "nothing I care about has changed. We're done"

They ended in Visual Studio 2008, which we still use(*) for most of our development. Pilot projects moved to VS2015 and now VS2019 exhibit the problems you cite.
(*) I'm part of a software group working in a company where R&D and engineering managers are all mechanical engineers. Workflow and official documentation, even for software, therefore adheres to hardware methodologies. Changing Tools Is Bad, because then you have to do a complete product regression test, and nobody has time for that.

I have had all kinds of fun with the Batch Build option. I think it is messed up to the point I filed a bug report and was told the issue is behavior by design. I replied that it was a very poor design.

It must have improved since the last time I used Qt Creator. I had to do complete clean and build's because the dependency checking ignored resource changes.

VS has not a single clue what/when to build or not, if you are not going and explicitly define the project dependencies...

What annoys me is that if you leave the "properties" page open and close VS, next time you open the solution you get an error because VS is using the project file and can't open it twice ...
This is an annoyance when you release a new version, and then go to the assembly properties to set up the version number of the next debug edits ... which may be some weeks or months off.

We have several solutions that contain several projects each. When you tell it to build, it has to check each one for changes to make sure it actually has to build it.
There's a line in the output window that tells me "n succeeded; n failed; n up to date"
The numbers represented there (in my case) always represent the correct compile status. Build is different from rebuild, as I'm sure you know.

Aren't these two the same...? Is VS the only one who's confused here...?

Visual Studio has confused me so much I can't even form logical sentences.

I think this is exactly what's happening. VS manages to confuse itself.

No one can give me a cogent explanation of how cryptocurrency works.
I'm therefore convinced it's a scam.

The first is limited in supply, the other is more like fiat and costs nothing to produce.

Who is limiting the supply of Bitcoins?
Eddy Vluggen wrote: the other is more like fiat and costs nothing to produce
Arcade Tokens definitely cost 'something' to produce. It may not be much, but it's probably more than the cost of producing a Bitcoin. So an Arcade Token does have an intrinsic value - whereas a Bitcoin's value is artificial, resulting completely from how it is managed/marketed.

Math. Just so you know where to complain

You're measurably wrong. BC's cost a lot of energy to mine; most of us can't afford that.
5teveH wrote: So an Arcade Token does have an intrinsic value
Very little, since plastic is cheap. BC has an intrinsic value since it has a use for us (that's the basis of intrinsic value, how much uses do we have and what demand does that generate?)
BC's "intrinsic" value is rising, because supply is limited and demand rising.
5teveH wrote: whereas a Bitcoin's value is artificial, resulting completely from how it is managed/marketed.
You may want to pick up a few books explaining basic economics. Also, there's no company that "owns" BC, so there's no budget for marketing.
But go ahead, explain me how the way the ECB manages "money" is superiour to decentralized non-managing based on math.

Unfortunately, if you check into bitcoin mining, the cost of production is a lot of electricity (and concomitant pollution).
My perspective: the cost of production is high and produces nothing.

So, we can only spend (solar, wind) energy on stuff that helps us as humanity? ..and how are you so certain that it is not worth the pollution to have a "safe storage of value" (which fiat isn't, and is part of the definition of money!)
W∴ Balboos, GHB wrote: My perspective: the cost of production is high and produces nothing.
Lots of followers of Keynes here, but they all drop their faith in the man when it comes to BC Even fake money works as money, proven by history - the difference being that BC isn't fiat and doesn't require "belief", nor "trust".
Just to be clear; I don't own BC, don't say anyone should or should not, just reasoning from theory. I'm a silverbug. I don't care whether BC becomes a success or not. Just pointing out that it already is.

What makes you think the majority of bitcoin mining is via solar/wind? Look it up![^] Wait - I'll save you a click:Quote: Bitcoin produces 36.95 megatons of carbon dioxide (CO2) annually (comparable to New Zealand) and it is estimated that in 30 years Bitcoin could alone increase global temperatures 2 degrees Celsius. About 65 percent of cryptocurrency mining occurs in China, where electricity is cheaper.Mar 26, 2021

Perhaps you don't understand what "belief" means - because that's all it has - belief that it will increase in value.*Eddy Vluggen wrote: Even fake money works as money, proven by history

I did not claim that, did I? But yes, I got solar panels last month, and saves me a few bucks. And not unthinkable that someone else is using that to "mine".
W∴ Balboos, GHB wrote: Perhaps you don't understand what "belief" means
As a former Catholic, anything I cannot measure or verify, or any experiment that is not repeatable, is an uncertainty. Anything beyond, is belief. Anything measured is also not valid as proof, but only as good as the measurement, meaning there'll be a margin of error.
W∴ Balboos, GHB wrote: belief that it will increase in value.*
Now you confusing hype with value; yes, there's a hype, and yes, people buying it because it goes up. As a silverbug I can tell you that you don't buy on the way up, but on the way down. Regardless of that speculation (gambling), it has value as a limited verifyable trade-token, like the wooden sticks with carvings we once used. Makes the wood it's carved in more valuable, but like BC, no "intrinsic" value, no real commodity, just a trading token.
W∴ Balboos, GHB wrote: I suggest you get a few extra ink or toner cartridges and make some history, yourself! Let me know how it works out . . .
Won't be much demand for fiat you give out, since you backing it. That doesn't hold for nations, see "Rentenmark".
W∴ Balboos, GHB wrote: making them less burdensome for the criminals.
The most used currency in criminal circuits is the US$. Because they easy to trade. Easier than BC, gold and diamonds.
So, the man buying a pizza for 10.000 BC's was a criminal? Explain to this silverbug; (and I am dating a criminal), why would she favor BC over cash US$?
