Same here. East US2, West US and West Europe are all affected for me.

When I tell my clients Azure had another outage they're going to demand we move to another cloud service. Looks like I'm in for a looong couple weeks.

Headphones plus a couple beers in my backpack, can never forget those.

I notice once I get a few beers in me I'm much better.

They could just hire more workers at $12/hr and I don't think there'd be a problem.

My car does this on the dash in front of my steering wheel. It will switch to an overhead of the lanes and highlight the one you have to take when you get close to your turn as well.

Much easier to process this than the full map on something like my phone or the map on the center console.

I had some trouble using ReadOnlySequence in a library I am writing (mostly because of no documentation). After looking through how Kestrel uses it(they started using Pipelines in ASP.NET Core 2.1) I found their BufferReader[1] class. It made using ReadOnlySequence much easier.

Overall, pipelines have been really solid for me so far. Working out how to use it without documentation was a total pain though, hopefully they get that out soon. If anyone is interested I can throw the library up on GitHub if anyone wants some real world examples of using pipelines.

There IS no other provider. At least not for me. And pretty much everyone I know.

We wouldn't need net neutrality if the ISPs didn't have a monopoly.

Isn't that Tylenol(the acetaminophen in it)? Ibruprofen screws up your kidneys I think.

I just started one of my first open source projects in the last few months and I've fixed ~3 issues so far. A thank you would be amazing. I'm not going to STOP fixing issues, but a thank you would really motivate me to keep it up. Kudos to this guy.

I would think so. It's actually illegal in my state(PA) to wear headphones while driving. Not sure about bikes though.

If you could AOT compile the templates into bytecode, which has to be parsed, why not just AOT compile the templates straight to JavaScript(like Angular 2/4)?

True, but Unity is still using an old Mono runtime.

I think they actually just released a new version that supports a more newer runtime but I doubt KSP upgraded.
