Hi, this is Andre. I'll be writing about software architecture and development, cyber security, UX/UI topics, politics, and queer experiences. I'm a classically trained musician and music composer, band director, and music instructor. I'm handfasted, have kids, and play and create (video) games. Sometimes I don't recognize social cues.

The "axis of evil" expands🚨:

Musk & Trump's ties are deepening. They've discussed a possible advisor role for Musk should Trump win the pres. election. Musk & N Peltz have briefed Trump on a data-driven voter fraud project & anti-Biden efforts.

They discussed ways to give Musk formal input & influence over policies related to border security & the economy (Musk has no expertise in...), both issues on which Musk has grown more vocal.

@KimPerales If anyone needed any more proof Musk is a dictator and likes other dictators…

I made a dashboard. To view it and its data on other devices, I had to publish it. (To where? Some Microsoft server? Can I trust it?) To publish it, I was forced to migrate the data into the dashboard itself (rather than using a direct db query). The local copy of that published dashboard holds a lot more data than I expected, but not a huge amount. Only 12MB. And yet, PowerBI Desktop is incapable of opening it due to memory limitations... Totally unusable. Good going, !

In ISE it may appear not needed to import types. But when running the same script from a command prompt, Powershell doesn't recognize them. Import them using the Add-Type commandlet.

For that reason alone, software that require mouse input and fail to provide keyboarded alternatives should never be produced.

want fast-loading pages

one way to achieve this is by loading only the necessary initially

load the rest on hover or button click for a smoother experience

@aeveltstra@mastodon.social avatar

@javedAB Other ways to achieve it include removing Javascript altogether and replacing it by server-side scripting, as well as serving most if not all of your sources over a fast CDN.

Ugh. It looks like AI (CoPilot/ChatGPT) is coming to SSMS.

Can we cool our jets with all the AI bullshit?

@DaveMasonDotMe Hasn't the query engine been an AI already?

@Lana Do we get Google’s aicrap and ads when we use meta searchers like Ecosia or SearXNG?

@aeveltstra@mastodon.social avatar

@iamuppsala It looks at more than Bing alone. It also looks at Google and other sources. But it doesn't display Google's ads, and it doesn't use either Google's or Bing's a.i. to figment imagination.

Hey there, #javascript folks and #functionalprogramming people! Would you argue javascript is, or isn’t a functional programming language? And: why?

You started with 4.

Then it went down to 2.

And now it’s just you.

But sure, gaslight us about how your bravery lands you respect and fortune, while everyone who once worked with you has left.

I have chewing gum stuck to the hem of my pants.

I don’t chew gum.

Weird.

Today I ran a process to test whether it would deal nicely with receiving no input documents.

I expected an error.

I got it… 73 times!
