We're blacksmiths.
Some of what we know transfers to this new world. Some of it doesn't.
Figuring out which is which is our next greatest challenge.

It's so baked into the culture of the sport, I hate it.
I was at am amateur game in a regional town over the weekend and watched a dude absolutely lose his mind and start swearing at umpires over their correct call that it wasn't in fact "BALL".

This looks like an awesome runabout. Plenty of power for getting around the city. I like your khaki mini Landrover idea too. I'd totally do that

Probably, but I'll allow it :) (the grumpy, not the face stabbing)

Yes if the definition of Classic Rock is the radio station one, they'll always skew to 40 and 50 somethings nostalgia.

oh no, I called you grumpy yesterday for something else too. That's twice in a day!

I do agree that the definition of Classic Rock can and will move, this was just jarring.

I listened to Shake Your Money Maker a few times recently, it's a great record. But putting it in a category with Abbey Road seems a bit much.

Apple Music wants to make me feel old.
I mean, Shake Your Money Maker is a great (classic even) rock album, but it was the 90s FFS! It's not Abbey Road.

OK fair point, but what about AppFabric for Windows, Azure AppFabric, Fabric Mesh (or whatever it was called). The stuff that Microsoft actively encouraged customers to adopt before killing them off.

How many products have Microsoft used the Fabric name on now? 4? All disasters

Why is the ACS talking about this though? Because it's "on the internet"? or because their remaining members are of that age?

Human Shaped Microservices | Damian Maclennan Imagine you’re at a restaurant. You sit down, the waiter comes over, and you ask if you can order a burger. The waiter nods, turns around, walks to the kitchen, leans over the pass, and asks the chef:...

I've been talking about this topic at meetups and conferences for ages now, I finally put it into words.

Exactly. Every property in the note’s frontmatter is a property that can be filtered or sorted.
Which would make it perfect for searching an archive of posts.

This could turn into an incredibly fun project. @fernandogros.com have you seen this yet?

It’s basically just a way of querying the notes.

Added benefit of this is being able to use obsidian bases to be able to sort and filter. I’ve been playing with all this stuff a bit at the moment. We should chat over the weekend

Yes, I definitely don't need all that GA gives me for this instance.

Good to hear it's working for you over a longer time. I dread opening up GA, it's a lot of overwhelming stuff I just don't need.

I've started trialling @plausible.io as a Google Analytics replacement and it looks great. It's simple, no evil tracking, and just shows me what I want. It's a super nice onboarding experience too.
Impressed so far.
