Things I pretend to have a qualified opinion on: C#, Azure DevOps pipelining, Azure, MSbuild, modern software development practices. Also bikes.

@SJFriedl @anerdguynow It trivializes the process and expertise that it takes to do it. The ‘just’ may be on the very edge or beyond the understanding of the person you are talking to.

[Erica Van Houten @epvh]

@anerdguynow I say it then immediately make fun of myself.

@robert0muehsig @davidfowl We are in the same boat. We have a small amount of old C++ code that does IPC via COM/DCOM. Those interfaces are deep enough in the stack that it ends up pinning the whole thing to framework.

[Erica Van Houten @epvh]

@davidfowl Any tips for migrating off ComVisible?

@dezmondOliver Tesla’s driving responsibly is not a problem.

@DragTimes Works fine for me.

@greentexan2063 @TesCalendar1 Refining, never mind the extraction and transportation accounts for about ~2% of the electrical grid load. For one industry that’s kind of insane.

@smartereveryday Shoot it straight into my veins!

@Dave_DotNet In my opinion you should mark them static so they don’t capture context.

What an amazing response from @mcuban. People just want to live their lives with dignity and respect. Finding reasons to deny that to people should be beneath everyone.

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

So this person wants to vent because despite thinking he was going to get hours at a job, he hasn't. You ever been in that position ? I have

Then he vents because he is living out of a car and is upset because minimum wage is not enough to pay the bills. Think you might vent because you arent making enough to pay the bills ? I have.

You know what I didn't hear this person do ? Ask for public assistance. Ask for money to do nothing.

They are obviously trying to be self sufficient and that is not nothing.

And you, rather than respecting the effort and the grind you want to judge them based on how they see themselves.

Who gives a fuck about how people want to identify. That's up to them.

I see a person who is trying to do the right thing and work and stand on their own

I respect him a whole lot more for what he is trying to do than what I have seen you do.

@Noahpinion @Tyler_A_Harper @BeijingPalmer Which is stupid because the cost bloat was to attract more students. This is ‘sure we lose money on every sale, but we’ll make it up on volume’ only in real life.

@Chees3bal1 @LauraGMitchell So your argument is movement is only a right if you have or hire a vehicle?

[Erica Van Houten @epvh]

@Chees3bal1 @LauraGMitchell Do you ask these questions of roads?

[Erica Van Houten @epvh]

@LauraGMitchell I wonder if there is a product there. Wide and deep as a standard wheelchair. Wheels that strongly resist being pushed at faster than a slow gait. Sensors that log uneven surfaces, position, noise, etc.

[Erica Van Houten @epvh]

@ID_AA_Carmack @cerebras Blades the height of a standard rack.

@tottinge So much linting and compilation happens without ‘running’ it now that it isn’t as tight in the loop as it was in the past. The feedback is rich enough at authoring that it isn’t required anymore.

[Erica Van Houten @epvh]

@jbogard It’s eliminating entire classes of problems that exist in the infrastructure required to deploy and observe a microservice based solution.
