Re: Add tag for Azure U-SQL

Just to be clear here:

Send in the Beast if the code posted in the "what have I tried" is just a cut and paste of the entire question, or merely appears as part of the question?

Do you use voice control on your smart phone?

With the proliferation of various voice control systems, Cortana, Alexa, Bixby and there are probably others, do users actually use the voice control service.

Add tag for Azure U-SQL

While posting questions related to Azure U-SQL, we should have a tag for U-SQL.
Currently we have only Azure tag. Posting a question with this tag can be confusing.
This will help us to understand questions more easily.

Thanks,
Lok..

In Q&A, sometimes, reputation point for a solution do not showup. Is there a bug ?

When I post a solution in Q&A, the solution always get recorded without problem (well, when server not busy), but sometimes the reputation points do not showup.
This just happened again 5 hours ago with this solution:
Single quote issue in C# dataset[^]
This happen on a regular basis in the 2-3 first hours on Sundays, it happened 2 times this sunday. Server time, that makes between 6 and 8 AM in France.

If the forum was working like Q&A (updated questions move to top), I would certainly had updated it.

The first post was about the problem happening specifically on Sunday morning on a regular basis for months if not years. I have always suspected some kind of backup secondary effect even id solution is never lost.

For the second, I was surprised to get the same problem on a weekday.

Early Sunday morning is maintenance time, so if something's going to fail it will fail then.

We have retry logic but the maintenance that goes on at 2AM is thorough and painful, and can outlast our retry efforts.

Sorry.

Hi Chris,
Thank for explanation.
Note that when I post solution on early Sunday morning, the solution always succeed, the fail, when it happen is always on reputation points, it looks like the reputation part is particularly weak.

How about adding Elephant | [mastadon]

to the list.
I can think of any number of places one (or more) of them would be ever so expressive.

Sure we can - trust me on this.*

The elephants are nice, the last one is just a square here. What is it supposed to be?

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Home page not loading.

Re: Home page not loading - update.

29-Aug-17 4:42

All the other pages I try work OK: lounge, QA, S&A, Sugs'n'Bugs.
But the home page just never completes loading - I tried with Chrome, Firefox, Excrebable Edge, and none of them load.

Strangely, IE loads it OK ...

OK: it's not IE. Firefox loads it as well, provided I sign out (goto lounge, sign out, back to home page and it loads). Sign back in, and the homepage won't load again.

If I log in as the late, lamented Bill The Cat it loads OK - so I suspect it's a "follow system" beta test thing?
