This sale on Daedalic software wants me to pay $3 and "save" $5.50 ... buying a bunch of games that I already own?14 Mar 2026 03:14 +0000at://did:plc:cqtnputlv4lkdpwerfn6msjs/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgyhl5bdp22chttps://bsky.app/profile/jaykul.bsky.social/post/3mf5eoascca22Yeah, ('m in platform engineering, trying to help out). They've been using old (.NET Framework) SqlProj (in VS on Windows), and ignoring the SDK projects (as far as they're concerned, they're still in preview). We've moved to .NET core and Linux containers, but the SQL projects are... stuck.18 Feb 2026 15:15 +0000at://did:plc:cqtnputlv4lkdpwerfn6msjs/app.bsky.feed.post/3mf5eoascca22https://bsky.app/profile/jaykul.bsky.social/post/3md25tjzvtu26What do people use for database schema/migration projects? Anyone know what the status of SDK-style SqlProj actually is? It seems they're supported in VS Code (but without tests?) still "preview" in VS2022, don't exist at all in VS2026... Are these "coming soon" or abandon-ware?22 Jan 2026 21:44 +0000at://did:plc:cqtnputlv4lkdpwerfn6msjs/app.bsky.feed.post/3md25tjzvtu26https://bsky.app/profile/jaykul.bsky.social/post/3mcqpuwmfes2iThey're all wrong. Let me tell you the real story about… It feels like I daily see people in their social media echo chambers deriding majority opinions about AI, politics, economics, government, and even science without citations or sources, just the certainty that some folks agree with them. Why?19 Jan 2026 03:41 +0000at://did:plc:cqtnputlv4lkdpwerfn6msjs/app.bsky.feed.post/3mcqpuwmfes2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/jaykul.bsky.social/post/3m4nt6cqrtp2nSo, with Azure CDNs and Front Door all still locked down since their outage last week, what's the over/under on this being something that was vibe coded, and there's nobody available who understands it anymore?02 Nov 2025 15:30 +0000at://did:plc:cqtnputlv4lkdpwerfn6msjs/app.bsky.feed.post/3m4nt6cqrtp2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/jaykul.bsky.social/post/3m2b7qzgfv22pFor a CLI parser library, generating help is a given, why not completion script generation? Argsparse, climate & optparse do (only for bash, zsh & fish). Well, if you're writing in TypeScript, Optique now has one, and it covers bash, zsh, fish, PowerShell, and Nushell! https://optique.dev/concepts/completion03 Oct 2025 04:21 +0000at://did:plc:cqtnputlv4lkdpwerfn6msjs/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2b7qzgfv22phttps://bsky.app/profile/jaykul.bsky.social/post/3lyayqqkygc23I definitely don't have problems with emoji. They can be extremely succinct when used properly, E.g. Using ✅⚠️❌ as status icons in lists of output. Why do you think all the terminals (and business apps) are adding support for emoji?07 Sep 2025 15:25 +0000at://did:plc:cqtnputlv4lkdpwerfn6msjs/app.bsky.feed.post/3lyayqqkygc23https://bsky.app/profile/jaykul.bsky.social/post/3lxpmlydasz2xIt's almost like they all finally got around to reading Cory Doctorow's little piece https://pluralistic.net/2025/06/30/accounting-gaffs/#artificial-income31 Aug 2025 17:32 +0000at://did:plc:cqtnputlv4lkdpwerfn6msjs/app.bsky.feed.post/3lxpmlydasz2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/jaykul.bsky.social/post/3lwnokvfnos22Harvard found that lithium occurs naturally in the brain, and lithium deficit is one of the earliest changes leading to Alzheimer’s.
