Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

"We are the Borg. Your messages have failed and will be assimilated. Resistance is futile."
For Star Trek day this year, learn how to use the Borg's resiliency as an advantage using ServicePulse to manage when messages fail. particular.net/blog/resista...
An Off the Mark comic. It depicts a scene with two dogs. They both smell each other's faces. Then one turns around and the other smells his butt. "Hey, Phil!" he shouts finally, wagging his tail. At the bottom, the caption "Two factor authentication"

Any .NET devs out there interested in contributing (in close collaboration with me!) to a new VS extension for SQL developers? with the new .NET 8 based modern out of process SDK!
#dotnet #sqlserver #dacfx

TIL that an Azure Function with a TimerTrigger is subject to clock drift. Code executing in a schedule for midnight UTC can then ask for DateTime.UtcNow and get yesterday's date.
Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit
And it turns out, spiders are not the most unique thing in Ghorman.
I loved that book. It was the inspiration for www.manning.com/books/dr-har...
Good for you, hope you enjoy it!
It's an overhead projector, from when you were in school, if you went to school before the year 2000
I realized that my go-to metaphor for describing to people how Git works, overhead projector sheets, is something my kids don't have *any* experience with whatsoever.
Microsoft.Data.SqlClient is such a tire fire of a package lol
Two panel star wars comic. Young soldier talking to Han solo says "git push --force". Han Solo gets a serious look on his face and says "that's not how the force works"
May the fourth be with you
In Return of the Jedi, the attack on the Death Star is a classic example of the Two Generals' Problem. For the plan to succeed, both Han & Lando must execute their part (or both retreat) or the mission will be a disaster. May the 4th be with you! particular.net/blog/two-gen...

Very large sign with a man in a biz casual shirt with his arms spread wide saying WE ARE THIS PISSED, mirroring a local realty ad in Minnesota that is everywhere
Locally appropriate protest sign
I wrote about cognitive biases and databases because I'm truly exhausted by explaining to Microsoft employees how many different ways Azure SQL fails its users, and that yes I did read the docs: kendralittle.com/2025/04/06/a...
Guess this makes sense. I went to nationals in National History Day. It taught me the importance of research and primary sources. Things the current administration has no need for.
Many orgs have onerous approval processes for 3rd party, especially commercial tooling and infrastructure.
Dev says "how hard could it be?"
Dev spends a week or two on a prototype.
"Hah! I knew it!"
Other devs start using it, run into issues, no docs.
Iterating over the next 4-6 months...
🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:
I really didn’t want a future with AI, I wanted a future with an automatic laundry folding robot.
Mostly if you had a 3-4 year old phone with an iffy battery and wanted to get your whole life on USB-C quick before tariffs hit.
THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution. 🧪🧵⬇️
I hate the way musk thinks he’s a techie. Expert in computers and all this nonsense. He thinks a system in place for decades is missing a checkbox and he’s made some amazing discovery. Embarrassing.
Node now supports TypeScript by default:

It’s a sad day. You were a good tool. You will be missed. And forever will I curse the kitchen island boxes that ended up being too small for USB-C outlets that led to your demise.
In today’s episode of Things Nobody Asked For… Facebook Messenger now has Memories?!
Should really add some extra stuff about setting up OpenTelemetry all by yourself.
Obviously, *I* would opt for Wolverine (or MassTransit) over the tooling he describes here, but this old post from @davidboike.dev is still worth a read:

Data showing the top 16% of remote workers outperform the top 5% in-office, while the bottom 12% underperform the bottom 5% in-office, makes sense.
Top performers thrive with extra time from no commute, but underperformers struggle without oversight. RTO penalizes top talent for others’ inability.
