Day four of convalescing. I'm terrible at this. I'm so used to getting stuff done.

NEW: London has recorded its lowest homicide rate since records began. The evidence is clear - our approach to tackling violent crime is working.

Khan: "[London is] one of the safest.. cities in the world when it comes to homicide. We're safer than Paris, Milan, Rome, Brussels, Berlin.. two and half times safer than NY, 5 times safer than LA, 12 times safer than Chicago.. those that spread lies have a problem with London"

I must say that the staff at the Royal Free have been lovely, and very professional while I'm waiting for my operation.

Getting these eyes fixed today 😵

I have Thyroid Eye Disease (#TED), and I am having major surgery tomorrow to resolve it. I am pretty apprehensive about it. I wanted to let you know how I arrived here. /1

AWS Lambda now supports .Net 10 runtime. I know what I'm doing this weekend 🤪 aws.amazon.com/blogs/comput... #AWS #Lambda #dotnet

Not sure about you, but I'm starting to lose faith in the FIFA peace prize...

Great developers are built through their good habits. Not flashy frameworks. Not ten new AI tools. Not memorising every key shortcut in VS Code (though that is impressive). The real magic is in small, consistent habits that make you better every day. 2/7

lets see how this goes: Remove the Nuget Gallery "share on twitter" feature github.com/NuGet/NuGetG...

Hard to believe a FIFA Peace Prize laureate would do this.

We really need to come up with better metaphors for AI agents than junior developers and interns. It’s far more of a reflection of how disrespectfully we treat those roles than it is a useful metaphor for how agents behave

BREAKING: #Chelsea part ways with Maresca.

I literally just spat my drink out watching this.

I love this country and its traditions, perhaps none more so than how Smithfield butchers are treated like rock stars on Xmas Eve

6 mile run out of the way, Santa's presents have been opened, and I'm showered. Let the monstrous gluttony commence. #xmas

Good times at the covered market in King's Cross. Lush

Is it bad that I really want this for myself? store-uk.upperstory.com/products/tur...

That's diabolical

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

Thanks to this #GitHub change I've had to fix all my pipelines over the last two days. What a pain.

So this #GitHub security update caught me off guard. github.blog/changelog/20... Now all my deployment pipelines are broken. Hmmph

Wow. I can't believe what I'm seeing.

Ha! This is brilliant :-) "One of my chefs mentioned that if they could cook the steak on the grill they could get it right the first time. This is not an acceptable attitude in the microwave era." www.colincornaby.me/2025/08/in-t...

Restaurant advocates have warned that if every supplier insisted on being paid for ingredients, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry

Seriously more fireworks? My poor bloody dog.

The #BBC made mistakes. However, it is an incredibly important organisation. It should be improved, not destroyed. In the current media climate, we need more journalists, not fewer.

Does anyone want a 3-month discount code for JetBrains dotUltimate individual license? DM me. #dotnet #csharp #rider #jetbrains

Good tip 👇

This is fabulous.

#Croatia is just what the doctor ordered. I feel the stress melt off of me.

My GP has moved to Total Triage. You now have a monster form to fill in and wait up to 2 days for an appointment. This is apparently an upgrade.

Ever wondered where all the Cheers title photos are from? I did. And I've gathered everything I can find into this post. That was fun. joelmorris.substack.com/p/where-nobo...

On route to #broncos at #jets

Super pumped to go see the #denverbroncos at New York Jets this afternoon. Last time I saw them, we were absolutely robbed at Wembley.

I learned more in @flash0ver.bsky.social 's async await presentation than I did in the rest of the two days of JetBrains #dotnet days 2025. Many thanks

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in German, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

The Starmer government is REALLY running scared of this petition, now at 2.75 million, to the extent that it has responded 3 months early, in a transparent attempt to spike it. So please, under no circumstances should you sign it and share it widely. Starmer & his boss McSweeney would not like it.

God this is perfect.

I spent the last three days working with a new client reviewing their #ElasticSearch set up and fixing their problematic queries. We managed to reduce the execution times under load by over 3000%! #goodnews

Building £multi-billion data centres isn't "an investment in UK A.I.". If it was, that money would be going into education, research and start-ups. Instead, it's mostly going to go into construction, power generation and other infrastructure, and all for a technology that doesn't work.

Hopefully this means AWS will support STS versions in Lambda.

Some of these are diabolical. Programmers asked to make the worst volume slider they could think of. youtube.com/shorts/0zfuS... #ux
