It's my punk moment.

(I also did a 200 line PR where about half of it is CSS, and a PR with a one letter change.

There's balance in the world.)

Making enemies with my 7000+ line PR because I woke up and chose violence.

I unconstructively vent on Bluesky and then feel guilty when a nice human asks me to raise a GitHub issue.

South Western Railway ticket machine Screen reads: Top left: "Ticket base data info: Return ticket valid for date shown, outward and return time restrictions apply Mon - Sat, including bank holidays" Center: "Please select your fare" Yellow 'attention' bar reads: "Any permitted" with an ℹ️ information button. Two buttons occupy the rest of the screen: Green top button: Off-peak day return £16.40 (selected) Blue bottom button: Anytime Day Return £19.10

Why do these bastard ticket machines default to tickets that would, were I to buy one and board the train with it, result in me being fined for paying an inappropriate fare?

Make DACPACs make sense!

Give us a pre-deployment script that runs pre-pre-deployment script and before the deployment plan that is calculated on a outdated state.

And stop people committing atrocities to bypass the absence of this feature. 👇

Thanks @drewsk.bsky.social

I'll always have a soft spot for `unless`

I just wanted to express some love for the name Ratatui.

DACPAC be like:
"A pre-deployment script is executed before the deployment plan is executed but the deployment plan is calculated before the script executes."

Make a plan based on a state that may change. Genius.

The foreach ones?

I'm glad that the filter does what I expect the filter to do (filter more efficiently).

I'm surprised that
Measure-Command { 1..1mb | . $sb}
performs better in the second example, relative to `process`, albeit by a small margin. Is that consistent?

Always, please do.

(I'm glad it is because I always prefer foreach but had a pang of guilt that I felt I wasn't using "proper" pwsh...)

Mostly things that require two-hands, like comment / uncomment, format... A couple of macros too.

Is foreach actually faster than | Foreach?

I'm more likely to take questions as interest rather than passive aggression.

I'm not finding you rude. It can be so hard to tell online, with people you've never met, especially at 3am (here).

Sorry, my first point was tongue firmly in cheek!

I feel like if I was sharing a script I wrote and someone replied in the way you said, I'd feel a bit like my parade was somewhat rained on. I felt it sort of implied I'd wasted my time / shouldn't have bothered. Maybe I'm overly sensitive to how you've phrased it.

I'd hate to discourage anyone from getting excited about writing a pwsh script just because one already exists...

Maybe it does a thing I don't want done or in a way I don't want... Everyone knows it's better to build a new framework than to use an existing one 😉

Equally, the one the person made might teach the creator of the first one something new... Or do something the other one does not. I

Why would I care that someone else made a thing? If I wanted to find a pre-made tool, I'd have searched for one.
There's more than one car, one search engine, one shirt, one recipe for brownies... I can make things other people have made too, I can make them to my taste, and I can enjoy the process.

True, but those parameters weren't in the spec 😉

Isn't the Big Book problem what ereaders are designed for?

I need to make friends that can come round to my house and play with electronics with me.

I just wanted to let you know that just about everyone I spoke to on Thursday evening told me that your 'archeology' talk was the best one they'd been to. One guy even pulled up the slides to talk to me about it.

He took me up on the offer.

The first person I saw was @mapgie.co.uk, so I introduced them and he got chatting with the group.

He was beaming when he left some hours later.

Job done.

Not so directly related to @garius.bsky.social post, but it's all part of the same process.

I wore mine from Half-Stack 😁

Do you do multiple covers? That looks different to the one I bought.

É verdade. Enorme desilusão.

My company "forgot" about NDC London.

Massive FOMO starting.... *now*

My new year's resolution is to be more cringe.

It's going to be tough but I'm determined.

Photo of a desk setup: a brightly coloured mandala-pattern mouse mat fills most of the image, with a black Microsoft ergonomic keyboard partially visible at the top left and a black MMO gaming mouse on the right with a lit glowing TITANWOLF logo and side numpad buttons. A notebook and pen peek in from the bottom left.

Anyone else using an MMO gaming mouse programmed with coding shortcuts?

That article erases her queerness and the fact she had a wife (who was even in the car with her).
