Jane Street propaganda would be better looking

I’m also doing them in F# (again). Hoping to best my past attempts, never gone beyond day 12 before!

I’m never gonna do it fast but I enjoy using fparsec to get the input text in whatever format I need each time, even if writing and debugging the parsers sometimes takes up way too much of my time!

At a previous job we adopted Blazor WASM in order to rewrite an interal React-based app that was basically a hardware test ticketing system + asset tracker. It was very productive, ended up feeling more responsive to users (after the initial page load which was definitely worse) and allowed us to share some code from the WPF app it integrated with. Adding more complex features was much easier than it would have been with React (the years of C# experience on the team was much higher than the JS/TS experience).

I think like most MS products it suffered from being not quite ready for production when they claimed. We started using it in dotnet 6 and there were a lot of features that I ended up implementing or rough edges I worked around myself that were subsequently included / fixed in the dotnet 7 version.

I am hopeful that WASM GC + dotnet linking & trimming + the auto thing mentioned in the article will make it an acceptable choice for public-facing websites as currently I'm not sure how well I could justify it despite my personal feelings on JS vs C#.

I am eager to try Fable at some point though, probably on a personal project first.

On some docks / external displays Metal rendering is really slow. Jetbrains IDEs have an option to disable Metal for this reason.

At least they removed the atrocious "links are spoopy" line when you click a hyperlink

Capital corrupts everything.

The author writes database engines.

There are JS objects you can look for, `window.chrome` for example is present on Chromium browsers but not Firefox.

Nationwide's credit cards use Visa.

Don't make me contort into an awkward position inside a screaming metal disk then :(

Curious how bound I'd be to these terms if I just don't upgrade Docker Desktop. I'm not even signed in to dockerhub and most of our containers are on an Azure private registry.

Yeah.

There is an a ticket opened in the `Feedback Hub` app for it that I've been checking but there seems to be no acknowledgement from Microsoft about this, which is one of the more annoying aspects.
