The author appears to have gone on a targeted "down-voting" spree back in September 2014, dropping a "1" vote on all of Stefan_Lang's articles:

Interesting. His actions make me sad for him, but still not mad enough to spit on like that. Thanks for the additional info.

I'm not so sure he closed his account. It might have been closed for him and in my opinion that would be justified.

I’m using a RichTextBox.
How can I change the version of RichEdit in the RichTextBox?
I’ve overriden the CreateParams property.
The default values I see are as follows:
ClassName: "RichEdit20W"
ClassStyle: 8
ExStyle 512
Height: 96
Param: null
Parent: 0x00000000
Style: 1442906560
Width: 100
X: 0
Y: 0
How do I change the version of the RichEdit control?
Any Ideas?
I’m currently using VS Professional Version: 2017
.NET Version: 4.7.03062
Windows 10
Thanks
-Mike

I am really keen to try VS2019.... (particularly WPF with .NET Core)
But, I really don't want to face the "you have to uninstall everything manually, it will only takes 753,567 hours of hard work, googling, registry hacking" problem....
They stress that it can work side by side with VS2017, i.e. they want to make it easy to use without impacting your system negatively..., but it's not very obvious if they intend the final release to be an easy update to the preview builds, or not.
Anyone has any idea on that?
Come to think of it, I'd like to try that at home and I might have HyperV installed on my home machine.. should check that out, I guess...
[EDIT | CLARIFICATION]
I am wondering if the update
from VS2019 preview 2 -> to VS2019 final release is gong to be problematic. Or not.
It's all about VS2019 itself.. not what I use it for...
And I asked because last time I tried.. (granted that might have been VS 8 or 11?), I had plenty of garbage preview framework left over and I was in installation / DLL hell for a while...
Also had problem with .NET Core 2 preview... There was some (preview) left over dependency I couldn't remove when upgrading to final release of .NET Core 2.0

VS2019 should run parrallel with VS2017 with no problems. Even after preview.
VS2012, 2013, 2015, and 2017 all run parrallel to each other now as it is.
So, no worries there.
Anyone who says otherwise is full of crap.
Noted, the uninstall manually scenario is only for cases where you need to uninstall the app for some reason. But you should not need to uninstall anything if you are installing VS 2019.
Now if for some reason you encounter all kinds of problems and you cause a rip in the space time continuum, then I can not help you, and I will automatically become a figment of your imagination.

You misunderstood I think....
What if I install VS2019-preview2
Then VS2019 (public official release) come out, will I be able to upgrade from preview to final with hitch?
|
|
|
|

I would think that the VS 2019 install would stay the same regardless if it is Preview 2 or 234. same goes for when it goes to release.
You know, if this really bothers you, you can reach out to Microsoft for an answer, or query their Community forums too. You would get a more precise answer than in the Lounge.
With that said, I think you should be fine. I would not worry.

I know of no VS RTM version that has ever correctly cleaned up all previously installed preview version files.
Install it in a VM. When the final version comes out, roll everything back or start a new VM. No trace of any preview release guaranteed. Why are people still worrying about this?
|
|
|
|
|
Well... one need a VM... Virtual Box is not working very well for me... :/
But no matter, I might have a ready to go HyperV VM I forgot about, gotta check it out tonight...

As long as your CPU supports hardware virtualization (it may be turned off by default in your BIOS), Hyper-V should work fine. Assuming you have the RAM for it.
I'm all-in when it comes to VMs. I practically have nothing installed on my host; I have everything running in VMs.

Ever since almost a decade ago MS released a few VS previews with broken installs and told everyone to reload their OS I've refused to install any pre-release MS products. If they'd responded to community outrage by defenestrating the PMs involved from a 10th story window and released working uninstallers at the time I might've been willing to relent; but they didn't and at this point the bridge is a mass of radioactive rubble at the bottom of the river and the site is too poisoned to allow rebuilding for generations.

Davies said: The brain is the one example we have of truly intelligent computation
He must know people that I don't know.
But he's giving a straw-man argument.
No-one ever said that backpropagation mimics the brain (or if they did, they were misinformed).
Nothing we do in AI mimics the brain; none of the AI methodologies -- not even his Holy Grail neural networks, which a lot of poorly informed people have declared as mimicking the brain.
The brain works with what is easiest defined as "highly compressed and merged 3D movies with smells and other sensory records attached". We don't have anything of artifice that can even come close to processing brain-level quantities of such data feeds -- Hell, we don't even have data of that kind, let alone the capacity to process it!
So he's just talking the usual "what I'm doing is perfect, and what everyone who doesn't do what I'm doing is inferior!" bollocks.

Agreed.
If it was about natural intelligence he might have a point.

"Deep learning" implies actual learning. If it is measuring successes and keeping score, than I'd have to agree that learning is not the most ideal term to use.
