every day of my life I think about the people using “she” to describe this computer program who still need to be convinced to use it for trans women

Delaying the Western Renewables Link & VNI West transmission projects could cost Australians a staggering $33 billion in wholesale electricity costs, according to a new Nexa Advisory report. With families already stretched thin, every delay means more pain at the hip pocket.

I always wanted a Surface Duo, I'm glad Apple is going to release their copy of it in Australia. Always annoyed me that Microsoft never did.

Today marks 8 years at Microsoft, 15 years of being a father, and 2 days of not knowing what the hell I'm supposed to do with myself after a 10 day vacation followed by the flu.

All phones in the family are USB-C, so on holidays we can just take USB-C cables. And USB-A cables because the hotel won't have C ports. And the battery bank only has A. And there is still that one set of AirPods that is still lightning. And most of the kindles are micro-USB. How did it get worse?!

My wife is so bad at keeping her phone up to date, that she didn't get the alert. Sorry everyone. If aliens come to earth, and the government tells us the only way the planet survives is by everyone doing a jumping jack, we're doomed, she'll have no idea. Also she's unco so would probably fall over.

I used to enjoy playing drums on Guitar Hero World Tour in my youth, so obviously I'm now feeling the incessant draw of purchasing a multi-hundred-dollar electronic drum kit and calling it a hobby (for 5 minutes presumably).

Booked a Jetstar flight: My youngest counted as an adult because they'll be over 11, then had to enter their date of birth, then had to check a box indicating they'll be under 15. So they're not a child, but clearly still a child, but you can't tell how old someone is from their date of birth??

don't use discord, twitter, bluesky, or any other social media exclusively to update your customers of anything... the updates should always *at least* be available on your website. no one should be required to accept another company's TOS because you're lazy

Developers need to be paid, and based on reputation alone I'm sure this app is fantastic, but a social media app that doesn't even let you like something without a yearly subscription is wild to me.

I could stop listening to The Waitress soundtrack if I wanted, but I'm not going to. I've enjoyed almost every musical I've seen over the years, but there aren't many that make it into my regular listening rotation. Very happy to have discovered a new one.

I recorded this little demo for an internal thing this week, but I'm too happy to let it stay internal, so here it is. To you it probably seems fairly normal, but for me, this is the culmination of 4+ years of (very) slowly putting pieces into place. Coming to VS and VS Code soon! #dotnet #razor

Published a new tool that lets you record all .NET exceptions system-wide in all processes: github.com/KirillOsenko... dotnet tool update -g beetle It records AllExceptions.beetle, which is like a binlog for exceptions. There's also an MCP that can read and analyze .beetle files.
