I'll be in Prague next week between November 10th and 12th for the Orchard Conference. Maybe I'll see you there!

PC was randomly crashing and felt hot on touch. I think I found the reason ... this is where the fan pushes the hot air through, or was trying to.

accepting AI PRs from Sebastien is such an insult. It's like Picasso sending me a Hallmark birthday card.

At the rate of spam calls I am receiving I should have all existing phone numbers blocked by next year.

I have a cool demo for work but it's Friday and nobody's there anymore to see it, bummer ;)

New adult me achievement: paid off house mortgage.

Not driving today, let's walk to the pool...

I attempted to convert Fluid to use TUnit instead of XUnit with the help of Copilot Edits (a new feature in VS editors). I didn't find many benefits so I will stick to XUnit for now.

Up for grabs, JavaScript Temporal API in Jint. Should be fun to implement and date/time management work is a great learning experience.

As I am writing a unit test to verify a fix for Copilot, VS Copilot just spits out the multi-threading code I had in ming for it. Just based on the variable names and values I populated.

Last night the GitHub 'ubuntu-latest' runners went from Ubuntu 22.04.5 to 24.04.1. Discovered it as some dotnet tests are now failing due to differences in default date time formats. An example is the long Date/Time format "F" is using a non-breakable space before AM/PM where it used to be a space.

The bread at Costco went from $5.99 to $6.99. I may have to ask for a raise because that will impact my budget greatly. #breadislife

Filed a support ticket for a popular bike computer showing how it miscalculates dates due to timezones. Synching after 4pm Pacific does not show today's workouts, but only the ones for the next day. And 4pm Pacific is 12am UTC the day after. Even recorded a vid at exactly 4pm as a repro.

JS Engine Switcher 3.27.3 released: Added support for new versions of the ChakraCore, Jint, Jurassic and YantraJS

Being inclusive as a developer also means supporting PMs who once in a while try to code, like @blowdart.me

@haacked.com wrt to quantum, would suggest you keep your own router (not their 360 wifi) and use bridge mode (admin access to the modem). Has been flawless for me since then. Couldn't open their app for 4 months to configure the access points.

I added more usages of SearchValues in Parlot (a dotnet parser combinator) and filed a few related issues for improvements github.com/sebastienros...

Already learned something while watching the dotnetconf keynote: we can now hide the Windows system tray date and time which is very useful when recording demos.
