I was wondering when there would be support for the Mac for C++. I have used visual studio before on windows and I really like the interface and most of my college professors require visual studio project files. I am taking a course in assembly that my teacher requires visual studio's C++ compiler for .asm. Would it be possible if someone could reach out to the team at microsoft to allow C++ support for visual...
When are we going to start seen preview versions of C++20 and C11?
CMake support in VS2019 is a great feature but you should really start testing it more before releasing even preview versions! There are always issues - regressions!
There is already a great CMake extension for Visual Studio Code but it requires a fulltime developer! Please consider taking over the CMake extension. The C++ support in Visual Studio Code is great but without...
Also, the new site is noticeably slower than the old one. If that’s expected at first – fine, but if the new site is supposed to be faster or same speed, I thought you’d like to know that it isn’t. The time to open a post isn’t super-terrible, the posts open in 6-7 seconds, but with the old site they were opening visibly faster – in 2-3 seconds maybe. No hard measurements, sorry.
This is a known issue, I’m talking to the platform team about it, thanks!
As a follow up, after 3 weeks, I see no difference. The new site is still noticeably slower than the old site and it seems to me to be about as slow now as it was 3 weeks before. Pages just take way too long to open. We are back to modem speeds just without progressively-loading JPEGs.
Did you just delete comments to blog posts during the transfer? Or are they coming?
Unfortunately there were factors outside the C++ team which meant that comments could not be transferred. We understand this may be frustrating.
Please consider at least making a readonly copy of the old blog with the old comments still available. That’s what other sites do when they migrate in ways that make comments hard to preserve.
