Make DACPACs make sense! Give us a pre-deployment script that runs pre-pre-deployment script and before the deployment plan that is calculated on a outdated state. And stop people committing atrocities to bypass the absence of this feature. 👇 Thanks @drewsk.bsky.social

DACPAC be like: "A pre-deployment script is executed before the deployment plan is executed but the deployment plan is calculated before the script executes." Make a plan based on a state that may change. Genius.

I need to make friends that can come round to my house and play with electronics with me.

He took me up on the offer. The first person I saw was @mapgie.co.uk, so I introduced them and he got chatting with the group. He was beaming when he left some hours later. Job done. Not so directly related to @garius.bsky.social post, but it's all part of the same process.

My company "forgot" about NDC London. Massive FOMO starting.... *now*

My new year's resolution is to be more cringe. It's going to be tough but I'm determined.

Anyone else using an MMO gaming mouse programmed with coding shortcuts?

I perpetually return to ponder the universe's greatest unsolved mystery: How is it possible for the human body to generate SO MUCH SNOT?

Hi, I'm a speeding bus that didn't stop & hit the side of a car a child was on a driver who lost control a 2004 festival crowd watching Muse dangerously bad dates the stress of various third sector jobs poor life choices mixing household cleaning products the wrong medication my own dark thoughts

On this year's SEGAbits year in review show we introduced a new award celebrating SEGA Writing and Journalism, which we awarded to Nick Thorpe of @retrogamermag.bsky.social - Thank you for everything Nick, you will never be forgotten.

Nik’s funeral is taking place on 30th December at 1pm GMT. For those that can’t attend, the funeral will be live-streamed. We have tried to contact as many of Nik’s friends as we could, but we may have missed some. The link is watch.obitus.com username: cuma6886 pin:962499

I have the details for the livestream of @hkt3030.neocities.org's memorial. If you're a friend of his & would like these, please let me know.

Do you ever want to listen to something else that you like, but seem to have forgotten what artists you enjoy?

Cool, cool, but how do we make them stop?

I got nerd sniped. My friend decided to do Advent of Code 2025 in COBOL because he's a massive nerd, but he stumbled at Day 1, Part 1. So... I have now done AOC 2025 Day 1, Part 1 in COBOL*. I'll see if I can have a crack at P2 tomorrow. *technically, gnucobol4 on WSL

This is really messing with my head so much right now. I'm in denial that @hkt3030.neocities.org is gone.

Really shocked to see this news. I've known Nik for 20 years. I think he'd be blown away by all the responses to his sudden passing. Very sad news indeed.

I'm on wet sticky packed Northern line train at rush hour, heading to the City on a Thursday morning. I'm already questioning all the choices that led me here. Then I look up and see this and question my fundamental understanding of the English language.

If you lose your job to AI, is every pint an after-work pint?

Who’s braver than the woman who is standing while applying mascara on a moving, commuter Waterloo & City Line train?

What non-chromium browser do you use? Does it work on mobile? Do you do front end development?

You're not an amazing dev if you've never messed up.

How do we stop this plague?

I often quote: If I hadn't seen such riches, I could live with being poor. And today someone actually recognised it!

I'm struggling to understand how Deftones have become so pervasive in the last few months.

"quick call?" they said. 3h ago.

Really enjoyed the first session of #Halfstack 2025. It highlighted some of pitfalls of being an occasional front-end full-stacker... and left me feeling hopeful. Yes, hopeful.

It was drunken Ernest Hemmingway in the garden path with the moose gun. #Cthulhu #DeathMayDie

People actually pay to use Workday.

The reality that Apple is actively anti-web is obscured by influential, aging web commentators who remember when it wasn't, and enjoy the wealth bubble's shiny toys. They're failing to demand better browsers on their phones, and that's a scandal: open-web-advocacy.org/blog/apples-...

Fml... only 1 woman candidate for the dotnetfoundation board.

Bought at Cash Converters for £20 in the late 2000s, this phone is "For Engineering Use Only" so in retrospect, it's probably a stolen BlackBerry 8820. Judging by the date, it thinks it's 2007. And I've no idea what the password might be.

I pulled out my history of mobile phones last night. None of those using USB micro charging show signs of life. However, these older phones will turn on: - USB mini-B charging (BlackBerry) - Proprietary Samsung charger (SGH G600) I still miss a good integrated hardware keyboard.

The world hasn't changed in the last hundred years. The wealthy still have the ear of the ruling class. Only now we have the illusion of control thanks to democracy. Look at how Labour have betrayed those who voted for them. Look at how the tech CEOs have replaced nobility. The west is an oligarchy

Just going to leave this here in case anyone says we have to put aside our differences with Charlie Kirk

🤷🏻‍♀️

Looking forward to the USA having gun control now that Kirk is dead.

I didn't know that "Autofill" was Microsoft's name for its password keeper, so I happily ignored all the warnings about it not working anymore.............

My MIL gave us a large potted orchid for our wedding anniversary. I guess she hates me then.

If a Hotel website caps my password length at 15 characters and politely requests that I do not use special characters, should I just avoid them on principle?

In 2000, if you’d bet on who’d be doing better 25 years later (happier, and with more well-adjusted kids): Will Smith or Eminem? You’d probably have lost your money by now.

Do you ever code for several hours solid without being able to build the code (so, can't run & no tests), then finally take a deep breath and brace yourself as you hit F5?

Unix literally exists because some guys at Bell Labs wanted to play a video game

This has NO BUSINESS being this good 😭❤️ youtube.com/shorts/Zo5LC...

Using `sibling-index()` and relative colors make randomly applying different background colors to children less annoying.

Folks, I'm genuinely curious. There are 7 CSS features in this snippet - class selector (.disco), property name (background-color), oklch(), from, calc(), & sibling-index(). How many do you know well, how many were you aware of but never really used, and how many did you have no idea they existed?
