I'm grateful that Kyle surfaced all these extraordinary opinions slamming the Trump administration for the illegal detention of immigrants. This one leaps out in part because the judge is warning us that abuses being inflicted on immigrants now are a preview of what could be unleashed on citizens.

Want to work on the .net core libraries giving you a direct route to making me upset because of your code?
Requires three days a week in the office in Redmond.

Have paperless-ngx.com on my home server now & more excited than I should be that I finally have a *system* for personal document management. My printer/scanner scans straight to the inbox on my home server for auto-OCR, tagging, etc. Looking to add Paperless-AI w/ a local model for more smarts.

With "dotnet project convert" we go from File-based app to project. But what if we start with a normal project, and then we want to convert it to a File-based app? I have created a small .NET tool for this: github.com/marcominerva.... And you can run it using dnx! #dotnet /cc @damianedwards.com
