Yes, but process could be better. I ended up with a fresh win 10 install. Then used the Zamyl universal template then I fixed each problem just to run an empty project. Was painful but eventually got through it. Good part of the problem is Different Nugett packages and then updates from his Xammer in. It's worth the effort though once you get a good stable install working in all platforms we care about, you literally have one C-sharp CodeBase. Used stackoverflow a lot. Product has come so far since it's mono days. Except for the installation issues that really is a mature good product

So yesterday a child was forgotten in a forest by the responsibles for a child camp[^] who organized some activities there. This is now going to be a big bashing about how bad these people were, not even able to count the number of children placed under their responsibility and take care of them, aso...
This is precisely why I hate our society. Everything HAS to be perfect. Even more perfect because children are involved. No error allowed.
So okay, they made a mistake, and a 3-year-old has been left alone for 7 hours. But statistically, in France, millions of children are put under other people's responsibility every day (teachers, sports trainer, child care, etc...), which make billion of billions of opportunities every year to have one left alone or forgotten somewhere. So ONE left alone every other year makes a failure rate of less than 0.0000001 ppm, which is close to nothing.
The child is safe. Move on!
But I know what is going to happen : people getting fired, new laws about children care and rules and procedures, bla bla bla.... This is just plain sick. I hate it before it even started to happen.

In my day he would have been taken in by a family of wolves, befriended a bear and a panther, escaped a snake, been captured by monkeys and fought a tiger before being lured back to his village by some singing water fetching person.

Hang on there, I think we always would have come down heavily on any children's organisation that was this irresponsible. OK, I was nearly drowned in an old mine shaft by a benedectine monk as a kid but I wasnt left behind!

Er, well, yes, there was one who didnt take us out on irresponsible field trips to old tin mines who was later investigated....

Perhaps what he's describing is some sort of euphemism.

Hey - why debug software? - there will always be mistakes - so just stop making a big deal.

Mediocrity ? There is a world between leaving out a child every other billion times, and leaving them out every time. In the first case, I would not talk about mediocrity.

If keeping track of the children is too difficult in France (or the EU, in general?), then perhaps you've enough extras to pick up the slack. Don't worry about the occasional murder, either.
Consider that hundreds of millions of people go out every day and even if you murder a hundred, it's one chance in a million. Why waste the resources. In fact, expanded to the annual rate, as you've done, and it comes out to about the same stats.
Well - that's one way to cut the law enforcement budget! Damn nanny state. If you can't afford kevlar and body armor, that's a chance you'll have take upon yourself.

Besides the original subject country being France, many EU laws now are continent-wide. But, if you'll note the sarcasm* throughout the response, it would disturb you less.
We all know that those children are actually used as feed at the escargot hatcheries.

They lost 6.25% of the very young children in their care, and didn't notice until hours later when the parents came to pick up their missing toddler.
If you're paid to look after children, and you fail to notice when 1/16th of them go missing, then you're clearly not fit to do your job.
It's not about a magic bullet to stop mistakes from being made. It's about making sure that you don't leave your children in the care of people who are dangerously unfit to look after them.

Damn! I'd almost forgotten about 'no child left behind'. Thanks for reminding me. Funny, neither candidate (here in US) has even mentioned this failing program.
