Fuck streamelements, they still send you spam mails after you delete your account (because of the spam mails).

Don't expect me to work around bugs in your unicode handling.

.NET Core is the best web framework I've ever seen. Nothing comes close in terms of ergnomics, feature set, and general productivity.

But Microsoft's desktop UI solutions are such a shitshow. Qt is so much nicer to use.

azure devops is down and the status page is all green
why am i even checking it at this point?

bad news: .net RCE
"good" news: affects only winforms/wpf. should always stay patched though.

I've published mkups, a CLI tool for creating, applying, and inspecting .ups patches.
Both as a reason to write something in #rust, and because I didn't find an existing tool with similar usability.

everyone who has ever written a line of code in the ms teams codebase should be fired immediately.
i wouldn't trust them to write a working "hello, world" application.

I've released somebar v1.0.3 and someblocks v1.0.1. Both are bugfix releases.

I have a closed source elf file that has the wrong™ elf interpreter.
So I just patchelf --set-interpreter it, right?
NOPE there's an attached archive at the end, and adding another elf section at the end makes the binary not find it anymore
F U N

(Workaround: exec -a the elf interpreter)

1. Microsoft can't afford a spellchecker, which are free
2. Azure pipelines is just a shittier, less documented, frontend to github actions

systemd-boot shouldn't let you change the menu timeout and default entry from the boot menu.

hmmmmm

ChatGPT has two modes: It can very quickly give you the answer you want, and if it's not exactly what you need, it will iterate until it is.

Or it can completely fail at the most basic questions. When interrogating about Haskell's fix function, it was very confident that the fixed point of \f \x -> x + 1 is -1.

Overall it's very impressive, for Q&A it gives vastly better responses than Google, and it can even debug code. But as soon as it gets a little bit off track, it starts making stuff up, and it's very confident in its incoherent responses.

The announcement and release notes are up on the homepage. Take a look and upgrade!

CSS was not supposed to be an authorization framework

#NixOS 22.11 was tagged today. The channels are also live. Only homepage is a tiny bit delayed because the redirect for the aarch64-linux ISOs is missing. That also affects the manual update. We have deployed a fix, but it will take until the next channel bump to resolve.

the biggest sin of the gnu assembler is not the x86 -foo(%bar,%baz,4) thing
it's that in arm assembly comments are introduced with an "@", and immediates with a "#"
