BTW it seems I was wrong about NHibernate performance being low, in a more recent test NHibernate really shines DotNet Core vs. NHibernate vs. Dapper Smackdown! | Frank DeCaire[^]
Correction: Jorgen Andersson, who is a database developer, looked into it and inspected the test code, turns out this test is garbage

Just thought you had seen my post 'To ORM or not to ORM' and that it might be interest to you 
Well, the latest news is that management has decided to try NHibernate and see how far we get with it, not my choice of course ...

So, you're trying to say it hibernates really efficiently.

So from time to time I'll install something on my Windows 10 laptop, and with the latest update I am now warned that this program (wait, need to go check it): "The app you're trying to install isn't a verified app from the store."
I think to myself, okay, MS trying to warn me. Then I slap myself, no, they just want me to go to the store.
So, today I need to install the Windows 10 SDK. Guess what isn't verified? Oh Microsoft you so funny.

Hadn't heard of that before.
"Only install apps from the store" - that's a little limiting, isn't it? I mean - one of the reasons windows phone died a death (it is dead, isn't it?) was that there were only about six apps on the store, and 4 of them were bad "flappy-bird" clones ... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

You can only install iPhone apps from the AppStore. I reckon it's doing alright

Not really, except for Apple of course. You, as a customer/developer pay for nothing, The application store should have been a safe-place to install applications from and you (as developer and as customer) pay for it to be so, but in reality there is no compensation for the fee...

Well - they want you to feel like you have an Apple device of some sort. Don't worry about it. (Check if your warranty is now voided).

So now I need to download the vs 2015 community addition to a remote server. Perfectly legit, I'm a small business, etc. Where the hell is Marc Clifton when you need him!!!? I've logged into my account and the fog has descended. I have VS2015. Microsoft, your project migration SUCKS, and I'm being generous. I don't want 2017.
I swear, if there was ever, ever a reason for high capacity whatevers... ffs

and the cherry on top - so I finally find the 2015 download.. it plods along for 4+ hours (really?), and when it is done - it's a dev environment, compiler, linker... it needs to reboot the server to complete installation? really?

So we had a meeting with the CIO (and his lackey) last Friday, where we discussed our departments special considerations regarding the update to Windows 10. We had all agreed that we would update ONE specific machine, and install our special apps on it to verify the compatibility with Win10.
Yesterday at 4pm, we were told that four of our boxes would be updated via an image "push", and none of the targeted boxes were the agreed-upon test box. To avoid being force-fed the upgrade, the four targeted machines were powered down.
Today, we were told someone from IT was going to come up and manually install Win10 on the test box, as well as our special apps. He was supposed to be here 15 minutes ago, so there is still some question as to whether this is really going to happen.
------------
It seems that the controlling entity had informed our IT department at least A YEAR AGO of the now looming deadline, and NOTHING was done to begin/address the process until the end of last month.
Also, our less-than-1-year-old Dell machines were announced as "not compatible" with Win10. Out of curiosity, I googled the machine, and Dell does indeed have a driver pack available for it, so I suspect that because the machines aren't the "standard" machine given to everyone else in the facility, they wanted to replace them with those lesser machines instead of doing the leg work needed to retain them. Our boxes have more memory and cpu/video chops than other machines in the facility, so the "standard" image is indeed probably not technically compatible with the boxes we have due to additional driver requirements.

Hmmm, what could that be I wonder, ah that must be a fruit basket !

Given the fact that the DoD has a standard for making chocolate chip cookies, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a US Federal standard for fruit baskets, too.
