TWC9: Azure Durable Functions, Visual Studio Code 1.27, Azure Downtime, and more

The Discussion

• 

  I miss the days when I could watch these from my iPad and speed them up.

• 

  @Tom: Sorry about that. I don’t know any way to speed up YouTube — there might be some extensions — but I put time codes in the description to try to point out where new stories start. 

• 

  I love TWC9 - following it from so long time.
  
  One small request @christinaw - Please focus more on .Net than java. Lately, may important things related to .Net were missed out - such as .Net framework 4.7.2 release in VS15.8, F#4.5, .NET Core SDK 2.1.400, VS updates, etc.
  
  BTW, you are awesome host, thanks for your time to read my comment.

  @Matt fischer:thanks for the feedback! We covered 15.8 and F# 4.5 — but I’ll make a concentrated effort to make sure I highlight and emphasize the biggest .NET stuff too!

  My goal is to cover all the biggest news across Microsoft platforms, but I definitely don’t want to give .NET the short end of the stick.

  Thanks again for the feedback and I hope you’ll get a chance to see the .NET Conf next week!

  The Updated Youtube app on iOS has a speed option.

   

  1 Tap the triple-dot menu in the video's upper right corner.

  2 Choose the playback speed you want to set the speed to e.g. 2x

   

  On older iOS devices you have to open the YouTube site in Safari https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsMica-v34Irf9KVTh6xx-g/videos

   

  There is no Playback speed option in the iOS Ch9 App vid player control.  I can't find the UserVoice site to add a feature request, or the source on Github so I can contribute. Hint hint ... ;)

  Thanks for acknowledging the Azure outage. Last week was a rough week for us. Luckily all are services have been restored minus our build server that didn't make it.
  
  It's nice to have a major pain point acknowledge somewhere else beside the Azure status page.

  @Chris: I’m sorry about your build server and I hope you’ve been able to recover everything as much as possible. 

  The VSTS team posted and postmortem and there’s a preliminary root cause anlaysis out now. I’ll cover it in this week’s episode. 

  Again, I know how much downtime sucks and we’ll continue to be as transparent as we can going forward!
