Congrats on becoming a Doctor.
As you are a doctor, I was wondering if you could prescribe something for this cough I have and treat the pain in my back and ...

I'm not that kind of doctor, so no treatment .
I recall an ad I sawn TV fdor some sort of medicine. It said, I you experience rapid heartbeat, labored breathing and confusion, see a doctor right a way. I thought, I had those symptoms. I married her and the confusion gt worse, so I guess I should have seen a doctor instead.

Gotta love using VS to make a Visual Studio Extensibility (VSIX) project.
The first one you create works.
Every one after that gives you E_INVALIDARG as soon as you try to add an AsyncPackage to the project.
So I figured VS2017 was dodgy like everyone was saying.
So I installed VS2019.
Same problem. Only I couldn't even create the one VSIX project before getting that error.
So on my system, I have one VSIX that works. I just keep adding everything into that one as a result. It's stupid.
Naturally, google turns up nothing on the problem.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Thanks for the Microsoft Rant. I'm pretty convinced IBM would have done a better job, if only OS/2 warp had a chance.
Currently on Ubuntu and experiencing the joys of installing Steam and Battle.Net.
So you found something that doesn't work. Have you tried recompiling the kernel?

I'm not. At one point, I had to work with OS/2; it was a giant pain-in-the-ass.

But there's the thing: IBM did not do a better job. That's why OS/2 didn't get a chance.
They eventually provided Windows compatibility but failed to understand that they also had to offer a compelling extra advantage to get people to move OS from Windows.

Correct; it failed horrendously and was meant sarcastically. In a similar way, there was no joy in installing Battle.Net

My first programming was on an IBM 1620 with punch cards. MY surface has at least 10 times the power and I can carry it with me.
The 1620 didn't even have an arithmetic unit, it used BCD table lookup for addition and other operations were built on top of that.
No thanks, I'm take Windows orLinux or anything besides IBM.

I used to create extensions (some went public), what I have learned is that you have to edit the project file manually a lot to keep it going...

I used to just write my own installers for this stuff but since VS2017 with the private registry they've made that impractical.
I wish they documented their VSIX project files better. I wish the error message was better. I don't even know where to begin to edit/fix whatever VS broke.

Not that I'd wish to defend Microsoft (may the deity of your choice forbid), but to be fair they do seem interested in bugs like this if you can find the right feedback channel.
MS seems to have so many feedback channels nowadays: Github, Uservoice, MSDN comments (which are somehow linked to Github I think), obscure blog comments, Insider this or that, and who knows what I've missed.
In fact, isn't there is happy face reporting button for VS itself? I seem to remember seeing it but I've never dared click it.

It used to be that English weather (I'm in NL, so I get English weather either an hour earlier or later) would be a little bit warm, then showers, then a little bit warm, then cloudy, then a bit cold, etc. in spans of as long as a couple of days or as short as 20 minutes.
Now, we're getting blisteringly hot, then freezing cold (the missus is really unhappy about how her Chinese veg keeps getting killed by unexpected sub-zero temperatures), then torrential rain, then too bloody hot again, and now the third thunderstorm in the last five weeks.
If this is global warming, you can f***ing keep it! I want the "cold" world back!

Well, we won't have any cucumbers, courgettes, or several other veggies that have names that sound completely silly as part of a sentence in English, this year, because they all froze up, then didn't have a chance to recover because the ground dried up in the heat that followed.
I suppose I'll just have to eat more steaks and chili (adding to the CO2 problem).
