Fuck Michigan and fuck the NCAA. I am old enough to remember what happened to the Huskies when BJ Hobert took a small loan from a booster.

Michigan straight up cheated and their wrists must be stinging from that hand slap. Oh and fuck Harbaugh - he should face a 2 year suspension in the NFL.

At this point, I have to assume that Outlook is just using me to train it's spam filters. The most glaringly obvious spam greets me in my inbox every day. Gmail catches it easily. Why does Outlook suck so badly at this?

tonight could be the biggest number 2 Cleveland has ever seen.

when the pick is in, or if trades prevail, we will come to you with the kind of childish pun-flooded analysis you've come to expect from a social sewer district covering local professional sports.

Anyone have a good example of a #fsharp devcontainer setup they can point to? I see some older ones that haven't been updated in awhile and I wanted to see if someone had later versions?

Cleveland Cavs are 32-4 right now. That's both incredible and sad. Incredible because of the record and by all reports amazing team play.

Sad because hardly anyone can watch them since they are on some weird pay channel no one gets easily or cheaply. Case study on how to kill your fanbase.

Laura Loomer, the conspiracy theorist and Trump surrogate, as well as other far right accounts are pushing the idea that Sriram Krishnan, an Indian-born, US citizen who was selected to advise Trump on AI policy is not fit for the job seemingly because he was born in India.

Got a xmas card today from a "friend" trying to catch up. They knew about me, kids, wife, and wife's sisters. Claimed we took them out to dinner once. Said they were coming into town in and hinted at wanting us to host them.

No idea who they are. Is this pig butchering scam? Ton of effort if so

Welp, I already wrote it and published it to NuGet I might as well share it.
Announcing the first betas of JDeck

A small #fsharp System.Text.Json wrapper.
github.com/AngelMunoz/J...

#dotnet #buildinpublic

F# code that defines a "decoder", a function that takes a JsonElement object and returns a Result<TResult, DecodeError> object
Code:
let personDecoder: Decoder<ReadmeExamples.Person> =
fun person -> decode {
let! name = person |> Required.Property.get("name", Optional.string)
and! age = person |> Required.Property.get("age", Required.int)

and! emails =
person |> Required.Property.list("emails", Optional.string)

return {
Name = name |> Option.defaultValue "<missing name>"
Age = age
// Remove any optional value from the list
Emails = emails |> List.choose id
}
}

F# code that shows the usage of the above decoder, you can create a json serializer options object and simply add the decoder via Decode.useDecoder function.

Code:
// Inconclusive data coming from a server you don't own
let person =
"""{"name": null, "age": 30, "emails": ["alice@name.com", "alice@age.com", null] }"""

let result: Result<ReadmeExamples.ServerResponse, DecodeError> =
// ServerResponse will decode automatically while Person will use the custom decoder
Decoding.auto(
$$"""{ "data": {{person}}, "message": "Success" }""",
// Include your own decoder
JsonSerializerOptions(PropertyNameCaseInsensitive = true) |> Decode.useDecoder personDecoder
)

F# code showing how to use a decoder directly instead of using "Decoding.auto", code:

let personDecoder element = decode {
let! name = element |> Required.Property.get("name", Required.string)
let! age = element |> Required.Property.get("age", Required.int)
let! email = Optional.Property.get ("email", Required.string) element

return {
name = name
age = age
email = email
}
}
let result: Result<Person, DecodeError> =
Decoding.fromString("""{ "name": "John Doe", "age": 30 }""", personDecoder)
