I'm not using Core yet, so no problem?
My apologies for the previous sig block. It's been ages since I posted anything on here.

I don't use it either and there have been no problems for me.

I was thinking you were alerting us to the crappy UI. VS 15.8.2 freezes a lot and the so-called "Blue (High Contrast)" scheme should be called "Blue (No Contrast)".

Thanks for the warning. One recent update killed my Intel compiler so it wouldn't run. I ended up uninstalling it. So much for updates. I guess they fired their QA department and we're the testers instead. Nice going!

The Intel Fortran compiler failing with vs 15.8 is Intel's fault (they have admitted it). They did not update their Visual Studio integration for 15.8; it only works for 15.7. They say they are going to fix it "later this year".

Thanks. I was wondering.

In case you were wondering how to get Intel Fortran to work under VS2017, you have to uninstall VS 15.8.2 (or .1) and then install VS 15.7.x.

I ![Heart | [heart]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/love.gif) my job. Lucky to work with people smarter (a lot smarter) than me and management that intuitively gets it. And the 10 minute commute (with WFH capability) doesn't hurt. And yes, we are agile (not just dev, but including PM, release management and implementation).

I agree that not much sucks today too.
I'm still floating on becoming a grandfather for the first time this past Thursday.

Congratulations, Mark! That's WAY better news than my post!

Congratulations!

Congrats! I got my prerelease notice last week. A grandchild is due in April next year...our first. Funny, I don't feel old enough!

I felt exactly the same 29 years ago when my first was born. Last week my third great-granddaughter was born, and I still don't feel old enough.

That's a good thing, keep it that way.

Dunno about that, but I guess you're young.

Very cool, Ravi! I don't think I've ever experienced that combination (excepting the coffee part) in my entire career. The closest I've managed is my current, post-retirement, job working part time in a gun shop. The owner really knows guns of all kinds, the full time gun smith really knows how to fix a bunch of guns, but both have gaps in their knowledge and need the help of an engineer to get the job done. It's also fun to come home to my machine shop, play with various heat treating processes, and parkerizing or color case hardening my home made parts for obsolete weapons. Metal work is far more interesting than coding apps for Millennial snowflakes, even though it's not nearly as lucrative! 
You're a lucky man, my friend, though you've earned every bit of it. Have a ham sandwich...

Thank you, sir. I will indeed have a ham (and salami) sandwich for supper tonight.

Judging from what you wrote here over the years, I sincerely doubt this is possible.
Cool, my job situation is complicated, 1h/commute, but the direct management OK. All in all, I cannot complain.

Are you working from home with your SO beside you today? How come it takes you 10 minutes to get from the bedroom to the basement?

Ha ha! No, I prefer to go into the office and interact with my coworkers.
But I'm not a morning person and I'm thankful for a job that allows me to come in later than most of the other employees. The focus is on getting your work done on time and doing it well, allowing artificial constraints like dress code and official working hours to be set aside.

Pick up a Nespresso Pixie machine if you like espresso (~$100 - $150). Some of the coffees are truly amazing.
If you prefer coffee, get yourself a Kureg and find pods you like (even cheaper).
I had my own Nespresso machine at the office for years.
