LAPD when they think no one’s looking

I think they miss the major point of being able to run MSSQL in CI envs that use ARM. My team runs CI on ARM, b/c that's what we use in prod. And we've now lost the ability to test against MSSQL. This is going to drive adoption of other databases.

@microsoft.com has discontinued any meaningful way of running MSSQL on macOS. They talk about it not being able to do certain optimization, and ARM being an edgecasey thing mostly used with macOS, where Rosetta emulation can run x86.

Today, at work, some boomer who can’t control their smartphone accidentally played Scuttlebuttin’ by Steve Ray Vaughan for 30 secs before figuring out how to silence it.

A textbook use case for dependency injection. I had to go through a fairly painful conversion to instance methods.

A Java class was used to provide a number of utility methods for mapping data of one class to another. This class was the obvious seam in which to add a uuid to the mapped classes. Yet, during testing I wanted this uuid to be a static value.

I know instinctively that static methods are often bad. But when asked to explain why, I sometimes struggle. Today I saw a concrete example.
