We go to Phoenix to cool off some. Phoenix is a great place, if you want Los Angeles without any cultural offerings. Traffic, crime, decaying infrastructure, never ending road repairs... even smog!

And we have newer casinos than Laughlin.

Woody Allen once said that making a right turn on red after a stop is one of the cultural accomplishments of Los Angeles.

Wet and sh*tty here in Toronto...

With low humidity though its not too bad. It was 38C when I left home in France, but with a light wind its not too bad.
We have had 44C though, back in 2002, before GW stopped. 
The main thing is don't get used to air con. Wear very light cotton shorts and shirt, ,undone, a straw hat and drink a lot of water. Once you get to depend on air con, as you are finding, it is impossible to go outside.

Unfortunately, it was quite humid and oppressive with no breeze of any kind. There was a rain storm one afternoon which did clear the air for a while, but back to normal the next morning. i am used to heat in the 80/90s with the odd foray over 100 (it gets very hot where I live but rarely humid and cools down at night, usually) but not like that.
Tip: never go to Phoenix at the height of the summer!

If its humid too, that's a different matter, you cant keep cool at all. Provence can get very hot, but its very dry with it.

So the project stub actually compiles.
Unfortunately it took so long to get to this state that I have forgotten what exactly I wanted all these packages for...

Reminds me of how I have been working on some OAuth connection software together with all the dependencies and the fixes I had to make to the dependencies to get the project to work - it filled me with a certain horror that there is all this seemingly bloated code that may break at any point.

NuGet is an utter piece of sh*t. I refuse to use it, instead, I track down the actual source.

I love your replies, sometimes. 
Seriously, I have not had too much trouble with Nuget. Much easier on enterprise apps then tracking down your own, IMHO.

I experienced some problems with versioning, especially when one dependency bumped its version which broke some other dependency that hadn't updated yet to use the newer version. The automatic update thing (probably can be disabled) ended up breaking the libraries I was using for that reason. Then, there's the issue that often times I use the same package in multiple projects. I like to keep things in a "libs" or some-such folder, and not have to configure NuGet packages for every time I want to reference a third party component.
So:
1: version hell
2. auto-update hell
3. doesn't fit my workflow

I'm not a fan of it either. Never been a fan of magical dependencies. Although I've learned to tolerate NPM, I still think should actually know what goes into their software instead of use magical bells and whistles.

I like dark chocolate. But as for package managers, I can do without all of them.

I use Paket[^] to manage dependencies.
I'm loving it so far. NuGet without all the oddities.
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???

This is the version I know:
Q: Why did the woman dress her husband up as a Roman soldier?
A: Cause he'll be gladiator.
