"I do not comply with unidentified armed thugs."

Memorize this. Use it.

If police should give me an order, I'll follow it. If military soldiers give me an order, I'll follow it (both within reason). If an armed, unidentified thug gives me an order, fuck that guy. I'm not doing a goddamn thing he says. I'm not going where he wants me to go. I'm not doing what he wants me to do. I'm not saying what he wants me to say.

He can either
1) identify himself, or
2) get his ass fucking tazed to the ground.

I DO NOT comply with unidentified armed thugs.

Azure & DevOps Podcast: Jimmy Bogard: MediatR & AutoMapper - Episode 356

Today’s guest is a true heavyweight in the .NET open-source world — someone whose work has quietly but profoundly shaped the way countless developers build software. Jimmy Bogard is the creator and maintainer of two of the most widely used OSS libraries in the .NET ecosystem: AutoMapper and MediatR. If you've ever tried to simplify object mapping or decouple application logic, chances are you've used his tools. Based in Austin, Texas, Jimmy is an independent software consultant and a perennial recipient of the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional award every single year since 2009. That’s more than a decade and a half of consistent, community-driven excellence. AutoMapper alone has been around for 17 years and has racked up hundreds of millions of downloads. It started as a personal tool to streamline development for client projects and grew into a global standard for object mapping.   Topics of Discussion: [3:15] What keeps Jimmy passionate about coding? [5:19] The decision to commercialize both libraries. [6:33] What dual licensing means in practice. [12:11] Which version of each library will include the license change? [16:26] Current major versions of AutoMapper (v14) and MediatR (v12). [17:28] MediatR: the problem it solves and how it structures code. [20:45] Organizing code by use case. [26:00] AutoMapper: what it is and why it helps. [33:28] API design strategy and tailoring endpoints to use cases. [37:25] OpenAPI vs asyncAPI for message-based systems. [41:49] Blazor WebAssembly and remote handlers.   Mentioned in this Episode: — New Video Podcast! Email us at . (Sponsor)   Want to Learn More? Visit for show notes and additional episodes.

I wrote a new article for Frontend Masters: Step Gradients with a Given Number of Steps!

Consider this problem: you are given 2 hex codes + a number of steps. How would you code a step gradient? Think about it, then see my solution frontendmasters.com/blog/step-

Hope you enjoy, a lot of work went into it.

Go is 80/20 language: blog.kowalczyk.info/article/d-

Good piece, a bit misleading on a couple of Go details but essentially right I think. I spent my last 20 years of employment working in Java-heavy BigTech shops, and they’ve been making Java progressively worse for decades by adding fripperies at the cost of hideous complexity. Looks like Go will avoid that fate.

So uh, is anyone looking to hire a developer with an uncomfortable amount of knowledge about and , experience building from scratch and running a social network (@ludumdare.comLudum Dare), hacking on GPU drivers/network protocols/the Linux kernel, plus a couple decades as a pro gamedev? 🤷

still amazed that the @mediaarchaeologylab now has a functioning Apple Lisa...it's really something, isn't it?! and a bit of writing from someone in 2007 who took some pains to write a long document about how they were only going to write on the Lisa from that point on and that we don't need any other newer fancier software for writing than that 💚

front view of an Apple Lisa computer from 198e. yellowing beige keyboard and mouse. front panel of monitor has been removed. CRT screen shows a page of writing in Lisa Write. close up of document written in Lisa Write.file name is "Using a Lisa for real work 3/30/07." includes a graphic that's an outline of the front of an Apple Lisa with "LisaWrite" appearing in the center of the screen.photograph (taken from the top of the machine) of the insides of the Apple Lisa.

I am researching energy efficiency improvements because our air conditioner is not running very well any more. It turns out that now every major appliance will be a fridge.

Fridge: Is a fridge;
Heat Pump HVAC in heat mode: Outside is a fridge, inside is outside the fridge;
HVAC in cool mode: Your house is a fridge;
Heat Pump Water Heater: Your basement is a fridge, your water is the outside;
Heat pump clothes dryer: Your laundry room is a fridge, your clothes are the outside.

@whitequark✧✦Catherine✦✧ Wasn't there also a guy who inserted something into his beating heart to take an X-ray of it, then to get fired for inserting that thing into his live beating heart, and then to get re-hired because that basically proves you can do that, and winning something like a nobel prize?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werner_F

Yeah.

In 1929, while working in Eberswalde, he performed the first human cardiac catheterization. He ignored his department chief and persuaded the operating-room nurse in charge of the sterile supplies, Gerda Ditzen, to assist him. She agreed, but only on the promise that he would do it on her rather than on himself. However, Forssmann tricked her by restraining her to the operating table and pretending to locally anaesthetise and cut her arm whilst actually doing it on himself.... They walked some distance to the X-ray department on the floor below where under the guidance of a fluoroscope he advanced the catheter the full 60 cm into his right ventricular cavity. This was then recorded on X-ray film showing the catheter lying in his right atrium.[3]

The head clinician at Eberswalde, although initially very annoyed, recognized Werner's discovery when shown the X-rays; ... once Sauerbruch saw his paper, he was dismissed for continuing without his approval.

... some major Nazi things happened here, and he got imprisoned into a PoW camp...

During the time of his imprisonment, his paper was read by André Frédéric Cournand and Dickinson W. Richards. They developed ways of applying his technique to heart disease diagnosis and research. In 1954, he was given the Leibniz Medal of the German Academy of Sciences. In 1956, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Cournand, Richards, and Forßmann.[1]

So yeah, kinda par for the course.

Here's an idea. What if we extend C2S (C2S++?) with a minimal set of features (FEPs) to provide a reasonable (or even excellent) UX? Along with servers that already support C2S, we could write an external protocol adapter from C2S to the Mastodon client API to increase the number of users that could potential use a C2S client. The C2S API would be general, but the UIs could be domain-specific (microblogging, media sharing, long-form, etc.). Who's with me?

normal kink thoughts

kinda feels like after a childhood of pure fawn i just kinda am into a lot of the things that my partners want to do with me at any given moment, just like liquid takes up the shape of the container it is in

like, without even that being something I'm striving for or doing consciously

this is perfectly fine, until my partners are into some really fucked up shit, then it gets really dangerous
