I build things in c# and javascript/typescript

I came across this on JLCPCB's site earlier today. The In Production text gives the popup on hover.

It turns out the issue is the password can't be more than 25 characters long. But why tell the user that? That'd make things easier.

Step 4 is because the taskbar doesn't always show up on every display. It's visible on the main one, but hidden on one or two of the others.

If I just toggle auto-hide taskbar I get a different error. So this step ensures I can turn it back on without seeing another error.

I have to delete the bin & obj folders regularly, especially when switching branches a lot, because things just stop building correctly 🤷

Every project of mine has clean scripts like this now github.com/xt0rted/dotn...

It'd be nice if the old name redirected to the new one so old links still worked until they could be updated.

There's no equivalent of `npm install lib1 lib2 @types/lib1` to install multiple packages at the same time and handle picking the right versions of everything. This also leads into package lock territory, which doesn't behave as I expected it to either.

Used this recipe and cooked the blueberries with a bit of water, sugar, lemon juice, and ClearJel (used for pie filling, but cornstarch should work fine too).

Basque Cheesecake
This light, fluffy, cloudlike cheesecake wants to get cooked at high heat for a burnt, cracked surface that's rich with flavor.

The :dir() selector is what I'm looking for but with RH and LH options set by the browser/OS.

My mom's left handed and it usually looks awkward and/or unnatural when she uses her phone. I've wondered why there's no setting for this and was curious if it was lack of interest, or no proposals at all?

I got so tired of seeing copilot everywhere that I just hide it now. I'll never use any of it, it just gets in my way and annoys me.

I care about actions, deploys, release management, and dependabot properly supporting #dotnet. That's what brings value to me every day.

I'm migrating to GitHub issues & projects. Most users aren't devs and don't know the system. It'd be awesome if there were demo orgs/projects showing ways to onboard unfamiliar users, useful issue templates, and project boards to track projects, tasks, and releases across management and development.
