@florianrappl.bsky.social sorry, I think my agent is about to create many issues on your repos, but these are supposed to be curated with concrete reasons to fix there. If it makes you mad let me know and I'll clean it up. It was accumulating the work locally until now, so I could decide what to do.

The feedz.io package repository is the best one I have used so far. Super fast, ample free usage, intuitive UI. A pushed package appears and is available in seconds.

feedz.io — Private package hosting

Host private NuGet, npm, and Chocolatey packages with generous storage limits and no per-seat pricing. Simple, flat-rate plans.

Shoutout to @florianrappl.bsky.social, maintainer of AngleSharp.*. Watched a few issues getting quick feedback and then PRs getting merged swiftly. Love to see projects and maintainers you can rely on like these.

I heard that people around here hate AI. No Jint 5.0 or Quartz.NET 4.0 for you then, your loss 😋 because it will be amazing🎆

Parchment: github.com/SimonCropp/P... .docx generation library with two modes. combines a .NET model with either a docx template (token replacement, loops, conditionals) or a markdown template (full content rendering), both driven by liquid via Fluid. Markdown is parsed with Markdig

Received some phishing email as a Costco reward ... and Google's AI is including discussions from someone else's mailbox apparently, about Olivette City Council ;)

Like the old times I'll get to work in the same room as @blowdart.me . That will be a spicy room.

It only took 30 minutes and 2K lines of code (didn't write a single one) from concept to reality. It's awesome, AMA

I am about to write a C# serializer. It's not what you may think it is. It's a serializer that would serialize an object to "C#". Running the result would instantiate the object back. Awesome opportunities.

I have been using Opus 4.5 with copilot for a week now. I am in owe. It manages to solve issues in minutes that I would probably not be able to fix myself with any acceptable amount of time or help. I can't even imagine the impact it will have on our industry. And it's a ripple effect with software.

I'll be in Prague next week between November 10th and 12th for the Orchard Conference. Maybe I'll see you there!

PC was randomly crashing and felt hot on touch. I think I found the reason ... this is where the fan pushes the hot air through, or was trying to.

accepting AI PRs from Sebastien is such an insult. It's like Picasso sending me a Hallmark birthday card.

At the rate of spam calls I am receiving I should have all existing phone numbers blocked by next year.

I attempted to convert Fluid to use TUnit instead of XUnit with the help of Copilot Edits (a new feature in VS editors). I didn't find many benefits so I will stick to XUnit for now.

As I am writing a unit test to verify a fix for Copilot, VS Copilot just spits out the multi-threading code I had in ming for it. Just based on the variable names and values I populated.

Last night the GitHub 'ubuntu-latest' runners went from Ubuntu 22.04.5 to 24.04.1. Discovered it as some dotnet tests are now failing due to differences in default date time formats. An example is the long Date/Time format "F" is using a non-breakable space before AM/PM where it used to be a space.

The bread at Costco went from $5.99 to $6.99. I may have to ask for a raise because that will impact my budget greatly. #breadislife

Filed a support ticket for a popular bike computer showing how it miscalculates dates due to timezones. Synching after 4pm Pacific does not show today's workouts, but only the ones for the next day. And 4pm Pacific is 12am UTC the day after. Even recorded a vid at exactly 4pm as a repro.

Being inclusive as a developer also means supporting PMs who once in a while try to code, like @blowdart.me

@haacked.com wrt to quantum, would suggest you keep your own router (not their 360 wifi) and use bridge mode (admin access to the modem). Has been flawless for me since then. Couldn't open their app for 4 months to configure the access points.

Already learned something while watching the dotnetconf keynote: we can now hide the Windows system tray date and time which is very useful when recording demos.

Setting named "Show time and date in the System tray"
