I made https://t.co/zRPphN6vTe. I thought the skit on SNL was funny. #davidpumpkins #snl -- "I'm David Pumpkins! Any questions??"

@bacadd Can you have multiple rows of small icon taskbar like you could in Windows 10? That's why I'm using ExplorerPatcher to get back the old taskbar.

@windscribecom @Microsoft @shanselman can you connect these people to someone who can help? These are all huge, valid Windows devs.

@mkristensen This is when models like Sonnet/Opus create plans or summaries in Markdown. The content in the preview is blank until I selected keep. I think I installed a bundle or accidentally installed the MD one, but I'm aware 2026 has built-in functionality. Maybe no-op it in 2026?

.@mkristensen Your Markdown editor/previewer extension doesn't play well with VS 2026 Insiders and Copilot. I was trying to figure out why I couldn't view the Markdown preview in 2026 until I selected keep on the changes. I figured out I had your extension and removed. Works now.

@linusgsebastian @frgonz_ @miguelr98370144 @MythionVR @shirobruin @Pirat_Nation You're the bad guy now. You posting through it is so tone deaf and gross. I feel gross I bought tickets to 2020 LTX Expo with LMG Office Tour and Merch Pack. Thankful it was canceled and refunded now. I'm glad your money and houses comfort you.

@johnawahba @johnarnold That’s right. The square hole.

@AffordAnything How do high HOA dues (condos) factor into your calculation? Do you discount the rent by that amount?

[Chris Benard 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 @cbenard]

@benheck I miss that shop, the cast of characters, and the highly produced shows. At least we still get the movie and TV references and the addition of Bud now.

[Chris Benard 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 @cbenard]

@EmilyAYoung1 Please upload more videos, especially Linux. I miss those vids from the old place you were.

I’ve been writing C# for 17 years and I still haven’t seen a good use case for regions

@cheapchicknyc Cheap. Chick... in the city

@voroninp @cibrax @okyrylchuk @stephentoub I definitely cannot speak to the compiler voodoo. I could put it in SharpLab, but why not just use Count that we know exists O(1). I don't get why using Any() would be better.

[Chris Benard 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 @cbenard]

@voroninp @cibrax @okyrylchuk Btw I knew it did this for IList. Didn’t realize the others it short circuited for. Thanks.

[Chris Benard 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 @cbenard]

@voroninp @cibrax @okyrylchuk Still slower. Why not just use Count? From docs: The method performs a series of type tests, identifying common subtypes whose count can be determined without enumerating. This includes ICollection<T>, ICollection, and internal types used in the LINQ implementation.
