When I text you and I have known you for years is it necessary to say

"Hi Bill"

Or is this just politeness?

When will we see the first successful nostalgia act on the web? We're around 30-years of Internet culture at this point. The early years had a small audience, but each year that passes there will be more people that remember "the good Internet".

At some point an old brand / personality will be able to do a "come back tour" the same as Guns and Roses and capitalize on people's fond memories.

Does anyone else live in an area with high nitrate contaminants in the tap water and how do you filter this?

I'm currently having to refill my 5 gal jugs in the city because the runoff from fields is so bad.

We are once again on a nitrate alert. Then they try to say "unsafe for pets, small children, and elderly" but "safe for adults".

Whatvis everyone's favorite async logging middleware?

Assuming I'll need some kind of #azure queue or message bus to process messages.

Actually...why dont I just create an API which takes json. From there it can fwd it to a 'queue' of some kind. Then process the 'writes' to a db

Started looking at #eventsourcing.

I am tired of having to do data mining excavations in order to find out "what happened".

The part that concerns me is just the "read" part.

I may add less oats next time but overall....just like Mom made.

Oh and skip the Peanut butter. Not necessary.

Not all devs wear hoodies.

Not all devs are hackers.

Not all devs are gamers.

Not all devs are "smart".

Not all devs have stickers all over their laptop.

The behavior for the List<string> seems... weird.

I'm not quite certain it has the SAME instance for each iteration of the ForEach .

I like the idea of breaking out of media bubbles and seeing how bias is reporting things differently. The site ground.news is a mechanism for doing that. They aggregate bias and ownership rankings from third party organizations and then show who is covering what and how. It is fascinating. But I think their rating system has some glaring errors. It's impossible to get a list of all publications but even their standard one shows the problem. AP being center is solid, but in the updated ratings it is skewed as left of center. Politico is definitely not left of center nor is The Hill center. Those are all right of center. NBC and CNN is at best left of center but especially with the new management of CNN that is actually now right of center too. Even in the categories of organizations I can't stand I don't think their ratings hold up. I hate Fox News but there is no way their web/print content are as skewed right as Daily Wire and Breitbart. They would more appropriately be in the same column as WSJ and New York Post. The thing I learned today though is that it is possible to create individual suggestions and tweaks. So maybe it would be worth subscribing after all...I can't tell. Anyone have practical long term usage experience to tell me what their thoughts are? #MSM #MediaBias #uspoli

#GIT #branching strategy.
#ReleaseFlow

Branches: main and 'features/[your-branch].

Requirement:
Multiple devs work on multiple features concurrently.
Features move through various states of qat and uat (deployed to qat & uat environments via commit tags)

Problem: keeping 'main' clean. Some say to always keep main updated. But if its not 'production ready' I dont see why you merge to main.

Solution: I dont see a way around it. You simply work your feature until its ready to merge to 'main'.

If its an internal app where nobody else is planned to use it... what is the benefit of making it an "API" over just building a console app?

See so many people wanting to make a "microservice" where totally uncalled for.

Dont do an API... just to do one.

Feature Flags.

Tell me your experience with them.

Our current rules engine is okay but....

It iterates all the rules. Then applies the first where all conditions specified.

The implementation seems.... clunky.

Worse, is maintaining the set of rules in the database.
Its a relational set of tables. Each rule has a set of rule components. To satisfy a rule means every comp must pass.

Authoring rules is laborious. Theyre sorted by an 'ordinal' column at runtime. Its just kind of a mess.

What is the best piece of advice you ever got?

bradwilson, 6 months ago to github

I have a permanent branch that's never going to be merged into main. Is there any way to get GitHub to stop asking me if I want to merge it whenever I push new commits to it? I want this to go away for specific branches (I'll also accept it going away for all branches, because I mostly don't care about this).
