I bought my first Black Sabbath album (Between Heaven and Hell - compilation album) 30 years ago. I've listened to Ozzy ever since. Thank you for the music, Ozzy.

FFS, we (Cake) have advocating for running C# as scripts for more than 14 years, and before us ScriptCS.
It feels like I've been taking crazy pills, but this is not a new, world-changing thing. They've (finally!) just made it more ergonomic.
At least they could have credited prior art...

It’s frustrating when running a non-profit event and being asked for favors by for-profit, who in my mind should be able contribute.

I just completed "Bridge Repair" - Day 7 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/7
At first glance I thought part 2 would be difficult, but in the end it was just adding a new operator. My solution in #fsharp can be found here:

Today's solution in #fsharp was pretty simple once I found the sort method that takes a comparer.

I've completed "Red-Nosed Reports" - Day 2 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/2
Today's solution in #fsharp and found Seq.windowed useful as usual. Solution here:

Pt 2 could be more performant if we stop once we find a safe combination.

The hoops you have to jump through in order to move a domain from one Azure Front Door to another...
Using domain name as a primary key in Azure CDN was a big design mistake. This prevents easy migration of the domain from one profile to another. In our case we'll need to go AFD -> AppGW -> AFD.
