Great article on how many of the efforts in C#, @dot.net, & #aspnetcore over the last few years build on each other to tell a new story:

there’s actually never been a better time to be a professional software engineer. we are in the midst of a Cambrian explosion of weird and stupid bugs you get to go and fix!
Shoebills are unfortunately not doing too well in the wild. It has been estimated that there are only between 3,300 - 5,300 adult shoebills left in the world according to IUCN. This is due to wars, habitat loss, poaching and capture for the illegal pet trade.

I cancelled my Office 365 subscription some time back and then received regular threats that my OneDrive would be deleted.
My OneDrive? The thing I didn't want to save to but Windows kept defaulting to saving there? That thing?
Anyway, OneDrive was deleted. Long live LibreOffice

I feel that "you are no longer allowed to observe even mildly that learning to code pathways are difficult for people to access" is a depressing direction for the tech left to be so committed to now

a grid marking the center of a cell "a" and the corner of a cell "b"
I was considering making a data type representing half-integers, to represent both grid cell centers and corners, and i realized that's what everyone's been talking about with fixed precision data types!
what do people usually use as the origin in their (gameplay) grids? any pros/cons you found?
C++26 is done.
It ships with senders/receivers and task.
This is the foundation of async programming and provides "structured concurrency" ensuring that no sub-part can outlive the scope of work, or be lost.
It is general purpose and a complete model of computing.

I love that fact that we live in a world where agents can do this too!
I set up a Notion agent to triage feedback in Slack (where people are notorious for posting screenshots with minimal feedback context) and the agent was able to grab the text from the screenshot and triage appropriately 🙏
All I'm saying is the fact that WIN + SHIFT + T can extract text from screenshots is a lifesaver in a role where a bunch of people send me screenshots of text
