A Valentine's Dale sale announcement for Steam, Valve Software's digital storefront. The sale is for Steam PvP (player versus player) Fest. Instead of highlighting cute, cooperative games, Steam has chosen violence and is having a sale on cutthroat competitive and 1v1 games.

Honestly a brilliant marketing move by Steam

Absolutely awe inspiring - and it's proof that Trump and his cadre aren't invincible. They can be broken. Congressional Democrats need to be calling for removals, impeachments and prosecutions of these assholes _yesterday_.

My latest side project, this takes an MSBuild binlog file and transforms it into a Perfetto trace

don't worry - the important people will still be able to afford it

Introduce yourself as what almost killed you:

Hi, I'm a wind gust that almost pushed your moped off a cliff face!

Bonus from the same trip: Hi, I'm the receding tide off the north shore of O'ahu!

Grok says safeguard lapses led to images of 'minors in minimal clothing' on X Elon Musk's xAI artificial intelligence chatbot Grok said on Friday lapses in safeguards had resulted in "images depicting minors in minimal clothing" on social media platform X and that improvements ...

Are we going to talk about how insidious it is that X and the media are pulling the "Grok says" line to remove accountability from the product owners and developers themselves?! Grok does not have autonomy or agency.

Hegseth needs to be in jail for the rest of his life, and that’s the moderate option.

Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

I miss this show so much - in a just world we would have so many more seasons of it.

I've seen it on Windows and macOS, but not frequently enough to have any sense of root cause. It's incredibly annoying when it does happen though :-/

Exposing commands that return JSON, and shipping a JSON description file with the CLI that tells DSC how to fit the various dotnet CLI commands for managing tools into its model. I pointed the folks at OpenCLI because there's a lot of shared ground too.

Still a lot of specifics to untangle though

I was just talking to some folks today about dotnet SDK Tools being DSC3-compatible....

uh that's weird.

--interactive should be the default in .NET 10, and it should just be flowing to the --property:NuGetInteractive=true that's passed to the Restore Task that NuGet consumes....

got a binlog?

If they win, Democrats will have to use their newfound authority to rethink, even dismantle, agencies like U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. They may need to walk back the Bush-era decision to consolidate those agencies and others under a single department, given the wild abuses perpetrated under this administration and its predecessors. It will need to give serious thought to major political and social reform, including D.C. statehood, a federal ban on partisan gerrymandering, a new voting rights act and federal protections for reproductive rights and bodily autonomy, including the rights of gender and sexual minorities. Democrats will also need to embrace the legislature’s constitutional authority to structure the executive branch and the judiciary, up to and including Supreme Court reform. If they win next year, Democrats will need to treat the next Congress not as a return to the status quo ante but as the beginning of a new era in which the principal task is to roll back the president’s effort to create and consolidate a personalist dictatorship. They’ll need to fortify the American political system against future attempts to play dictator and lay out a project of genuine democratic renewal. None of this is possible without a willingness to use power rather than just hold it. What we’ve seen this week is that there are still too many Democrats whose instinct is to retreat to normalcy rather than face the conflict at hand.

Jamelle was cooking.

Gotcha - I like the rid partitioning for that too. In previous releases we'd have folks like the ONNX trying to bundle platform specific models into one package and blowing their size limits. That's sorta solved now!

Say more @vcsjones.dev!

Announcing System.CommandLine 2.0.0-beta5 and our path to a stable release · Issue #2576 · dotnet/command-line-api Announcing System.CommandLine 2.0.0-beta5 and our path to a stable release We are excited to announce the release of System.CommandLine 2.0.0-beta5 and our path toward a stable release! This milest...

Some examples of the kinds of capabilities I want to help build: github.com/dotnet/comma...

Finally, we can start building and sharing on a stable foundation :)

How in the hell do you come off a result like last Tuesday and then pull this kind of shit? The resounding message of Tuesday was to STICK TO YOUR PRINCIPLES, not bow to insane demands. My entire adult life has been this asshole and those like him fumbling the bag.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

Now that #dotnet code coverage will be coming to #visualstudio professional 2026, is there perhaps also any info on Testcase Impact Analysis ( #TIA) for #azuredevops CI/CD pipelines (as far as I can tell it was never supported for .Net Core?)

Saw @justinhawkins.ridesagain.com and The Darkness tonight at Emo's for the first time and HOLY HELL what a show! Amazing performers, brilliant crowd work, and an electric set. Gonna be smiling for a long time after that one 🤘

them: you're on bluesky? what do you post about?

me: policy ideas, mostly

Could we use something like github.com/baronfel/msb... to prototype/explore? One thing I found with this exporter is that there's SO MUCH data that you drown pretty quickly. Having a better idea of what's actually relevant for specific scenarios would help me a lot.

Woah woah woah let's not get crazy now. We don't have Activity reporting of any kind yet in MSBuild so that's a bigger lift.

What would you want to use that data for? I've had this on my personal backlog for a long time but haven't found a good motivating end to end use case.

In a structured way that we can grab. Imagining something like a `--logger:@nuget:MyLogger` kind of experience, where something about the _identifier_ tells tooling how to locate/acquire it. Of course there are other pathways too.

I was chatting a bit with @joelverhagen.com about related stuff a while back for my combo tool+library idea. There's some package validation stuff on the NuGet client (and maybe server?) that may need to be loosened, but there's a world where you can upload packages containing loggers...

If I don't make @rainer.sigwald.org sigh heavily in consternation, is it even a weekend?
