In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."
Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.
It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

Bold move to lecture *Allen Holub* on the perils of LLM’s! 😆
I write software for projects, that collect meaningful data in the field, at times our field workers put their lifes on the line to get the data.
Your perception of users is just wrong.
Users do not want to type in any sht in the hope some Slop will "correct" it.

A little F# goes a long way.
The .NET Conf session “Smatterings of F#” is a joyful tour of pattern matching, pipelines, and the kind of expressive code that makes you rethink your next refactor.
If you’ve been F#‑curious, this replay is a treat.
