Idea: a #nuget metadata property that allows IDEs to hit a URL to get RAG data for 1 specific package, so all AI assistants out there have better knowledge about a package/lib. #dotnet

Me: “C’mon, Spotify, play some music I’ve not heard! There are millions of songs out there.”

Spotify: “Okay, here’s some music you haven’t heard.”

Me: “Oh, that’s terrible. Skip. Terrible. Skip. Terrible. Skip. Terrible. Skip.”

Spotify: “All right, here are some of your favorites.”

Someone had way too much of a budget for these trash cans.

Yes, those are 3 separate displays, each running a React App in Chromium served from localhost. They show looping animations of what goes in each bin.

It’s gonna be awhile before I accuse myself of over-engineering something again.

I picked up a dog crate in preparation for taking our lab on a flight. It’s been years since he was in a crate, and he is loving it. He’s been in it from the minute I got it inside and he is choosing to sleep in it instead of his bed.

I was conflicted the other day. Curious what others would do.

At a light in town next to a 2000s minivan with temp tags. Back window is busted out and covered in a trash bag. Mom driving, Dad in front seat bouncing an infant on his lap. 4-year-old walking around in the back. All happy and laughing.

Tomorrow evening our electricity prices are hitting £1/kWh, which is so expensive that apparently the designer of this app never foresaw that

Wikipedia is the last major, visible platform for facts that they can’t buy. The attacks are going to be merciless.
Scoop: I obtained a confidential presentation outlining how a major conservative think tanks plans to go after volunteer editors on Wikipedia who it says are "abusing their position" and promoting antisemitism

Scoop: Heritage Foundation plans to ‘identify and target’ Wikipedia editors
The conservative think tank told prospective donors that the project was part of its work to combat antisemitism.

Sometimes there's a glitch and you can see the matrix.

A few hours after reading this paragraph in Neal Stephenson's Polostan, I was behind this truck on I35.

I mean, srsly, who gets that as a bumper sticker??

My favorite part of paying for ad-free streaming services is definitely all of the unskippable ads.

I finally submitted a pull request to add `.DS_Store` to the `VisualStudio` .gitignore file. Give it a thumbs-up if you want this too. #dotnet

Call me old fashioned, but I don’t think conversations with “HR” should involve them presenting me a list of “/debug” commands that might help them understand my question.
