I hope this doesn't mean Rad Power Bikes is even more trouble. Some of their recent bikes are interesting and I like the additional safety steps they have taken with their batteries.

It's disappointing to see Azure Data Studio go away, but it does explain the dearth of updates over the past few months.
I'm find the VS Code extension experience more awkward, so maybe this pushes me to DataGrip from @jetbrains.com.

We’re enjoying some lovely snow in Helena, a nice change given how little has fallen this season.
Even though I like snow, I still try to remember: “If you choose not to find joy in the snow, you will have less joy in your life but the same amount of snow.”
I hope you have plenty of joy in 2025.

Features in modern programming, like `cargo doc --open` in Rust that creates a rich local documentation Web site on the fly from the codebase, would have blown my mind when I started programming professionally in the 1990s.
And yet they seem to be little more than the minimum requirements today.

I learned a fantastic saying from Mandarin.
When you want to say that someone is doing something unnecessary, redundant, or overly complicated when there is a more straightforward way, you can say "脱裤子放屁" (tuō kùzi fàng pì).
In English, this means they're taking off their pants to fart.

The OED's earliest entry for this word is 1892. I thought this would have been in use much earlier.
maquillage [ma-key-AZH]
(n.)
-Makeup or cosmetics.
From French “maquillage” (makeup), from “maquiller” (to apply makeup).
Used in a sentence:
“Myrtle Mudclutch miraculously managed to make millions manufacturing magical mole-mitigating maquillage.”
