@hillsboro_sd Not sure who else to mention this to - the HSD newsletter Feb 10, 2025 incorrectly describes "The Scottish Play" as being a meta-narrative about a New England theater company performing Macbeth.
Also - no documentation or information explaining how I'm supposed to do any of that debugging. And the issue is locked so I can't respond to say not everyone's a Python dev so "use a debugger" is a more sizable request than you might think.
While I understand OSS support can be frustrating at times, this is a pretty unfriendly response.

I wrote this Format dialog back on a rainy Thursday morning at Microsoft in late 1994, I think it was.
We were porting the bajillion lines of code from the Windows95 user interface over to NT, and Format was just one of those areas where WindowsNT was different enough from Windows95 that we had to come up with some custom UI.
I got out a piece of paper and wrote down all the options and choices you could make with respect to formatting a disk, like filesystem, label, cluster size, compression, encryption, and so on.
Then I busted out VC++2.0 and used the Resource Editor to lay out a simple vertical stack of all the choices you had to make, in the approximate order you had to make. It wasn't elegant, but it would do until the elegant UI arrived.
That was some 30 years ago, and the dialog is still my temporary one from that Thursday morning, so be careful about checking in "temporary" solutions!
I also had to decide how much "cluster slack" would be too much, and that wound up constraining the format size of a FAT volume to 32GB. That limit was also an arbitrary choice that morning, and one that has stuck with us as a permanent side effect.
So remember... there are no "temporary" checkins :)

@jeremydmiller@Aaronontheweb I anticipate someday Autofac may not be able to support all the things they're adding. It's become less conforming container and more "here's what ASPNET builds against, good luck!" Input from existing container owners doesn't seem to matter, they'll do what they want.
@jeremydmiller@Aaronontheweb Keyed services is super weird and non-standard-ish. There's also always been undocumented/untested assumed behavior (child lifetime scopes are flat, reg order affects resolve order, etc). And constant little adds - "required services." Far beyond conforming container.
@sweharris My go-to blame for shenanigans like this is CyberArk or one of the many ~bullshit~ totally helpful and obviously very necessary group policies that ~no one really thought through~ were well thought through and tested.
🧵 The historic NYT v. @OpenAI lawsuit filed this morning, as broken down by me, an IP and AI lawyer, general counsel, and longtime tech person and enthusiast.
Tl;dr - It's the best case yet alleging that generative AI is copyright infringement. Thread. 👇

I tried out @ndepend on Mac and seeing it work cross-platform is really awesome. I'm a fan and I'm excited to see the cross-platform support grow. If you haven't tried NDepend yet and you're a dotnet dev, give it a shot.
@timheuer Not in any easy to find way, but if you Google "Android app deep sleep" there's plenty. This hit me because I had some apps I hadn't used in a while and the permissions got removed. When I tried using them again, they didn't prompt for permissions and didn't work.
Same goes for customer sentiment, tbh. I don't think I've ever seen a company where the engineering teams were all stressed and burned out but the customers were joyful and engaged.
Or the reverse, with engineers firing on all cylinders while customers DGAF. Does not happen. 🤷
