Happy Halloween! My blog is back! https://t.co/E9CPvOtncl

@LinkofHyrule89 @videolan Yes, keep giving your private data to big corps. I'm sure nothing bad will come out of it...

(a bit of a strawman but I couldn't resist)

[Bruno Brant @BrunoBrantSilva]

@videolan @_Mark_Atwood Is this for real?

@MatheusGalletti @Alysson93876063 @blognaointendo @flaviogarag O povo tem o governo que merece, já dizia um velho conhecido....

So, @GOGcom, Cyberpunk is more expensive at your storefront than steam. Do you guys want to give valve the 30% cut, is that it?

@JefinhoMenes Fake news, não fiquei cinco dias sem telefone em 1999

@dhh @gsanchezd So, while the workload necessarily increased, staff didn't. Did you had idle people or did you already had infra and the difference was negligible? Or, would you say the work managing on prem servers is the same as managing cloud infra?

TIL I can write a using block in C# with a variable I've already declared/initialized elsewhere.

15 years of C# and I always thought that I needed a declaration inside the using statement list (not that the below is good practice, as we might leak a disposable).

@IGNBrasil Não é assim que probabilidade funciona... 🤦🏼‍♂️

Runway Gen-2 can now transform images into videos.

And the results are mind-blowing!

Here are the best 10 creations I’ve found in the last 48h (ALL NEW):

@martingrasser That is so cool.

[Lucas Beyer (bl16) @giffmana]

Ah yes, the well known "except you, FAANG" clause that's so common in *open source* licenses like GPL, MIT, BSD, Apache2, ...

Here I go again, this can't be for real lol

[Bruno Brant @BrunoBrantSilva]

@davidfowl @fiercekittenz So, three SSR options in .net?

Hey @oising - just a heads up, your old domain, nivot, was taken over by someone else, but it's still listed in some of your profiles

I criticized Amazon’s policies in a blogpost.

Now, their lawyers are trying to ruin me.

This is a thread on:

1. What I said about Amazon
2. How Amazon's lawyers have retaliated
3. Why it matters to Amazon customers, sellers, stockholders, and even Amazon itself

[Bruno Brant @BrunoBrantSilva]

@wondermeg_ Fitting. It's on the same level as the rest of the app.

HBO has money. No idea why they haven't fired the whole team and started over.

@michaelafcadio @ajpinedam Pretty easy - all framework classes are available just by refering to it in between brackets, and you can reference members by using a `::` "operator", so you can `[System.Globalization.CultureInfo]::new("pt-BR")`.
There's also the `using` keyword, and `Add-Type` to explore.

[Bruno Brant @BrunoBrantSilva]

TIL when git rebasing you will be informed by git of empty commits with a "# empty" suffix

Knowing this in advance would save me half an hour of scripting ☹

[Bruno Brant @BrunoBrantSilva]

@marvinvonhagen @crertel Which means... Nothing? You just proved it learned that, not that it was taught that.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

I warn you now, this is going to have unfortunate consequences, just as switching to living in suburbia and driving everywhere did. When you lose the ability to write, you also lose some of your ability to think.

How fondly I recall when my cursor would disappear once I started typing. Good days.
