Farewell folks. See you on Mastodon 🫡

Time to finally explore tailwind tailwindui.com

Me trying to center a div for the last 10 minutes

I guess I'll give Mastodon a shot. Not sure if I _need_ a Twitter replacement, but it's kinda fun anyway. I'm @analogrelay@hachyderm.io

🎶 This was a triumph I'm making a note: "Let that sink in" I'm beaming with glee at my acquisition Market Square tenants You'd best watch your back I'm cleaning house For the good of all of us (Really to repay new debt)

@LeviBroderick This is a masterpiece Levi.

No stupid gray check, that's not Verified Ok, gray check for old-school Verified I bet your future on the Verified Verified 🎶 /fin

@ssmary Y'know what's funny? The RSV swab card was an Abbott test card that looked exactly like the COVID one (though they had to swab further up her nose)

But where the decision making tips from "send a slightly snotty kid to school" to "take sick kid to the doctor to get tested [and wait 3 hours at urgent care]" is a lot murkier, and does send a ton of germs to school.

Okay, how long til we can get home swab kits for RSV and Flu, too?

@Nick_Craver I'll be honest, this might be the kick I needed to get off Twitter. I'm enjoying Mastodon because it feels a little like early Twitter and the stakes are lower. Less collapse-of-democracy, more silly jokes

Debating if Twitter is a net positive at this point, or if logging out is the better option. Curious how others are feeling on the balance of spam/chaos/drain overall at the moment.

If anyone is wondering what playing Persona 5 is like: I just tried to eat a giant burger but I didn’t have enough Knowledge so I did some crosswords and now I can eat the burger. I love it 😂

@davidfowl That’s very new. Didn’t work when I tried a few months ago. Nice!

@analogrelay Yea, last I checked, if you use the OTEL azure monitor exporter, metrics work.

Minimal APIs + OpenTelemetry + Prometheus 🥰 #dotnet #aspnetcore #cloudnative

@davidfowl Wait, App Insights supports System.Diagnostics.Meter now? That’s new, if so. It only supported Distributed Tracing via OTEL when I checked a couple months ago.

@analogrelay It does 😅. Do you mean custom metrics?

@davidfowl Still waiting for App Insights to support them 😩

This is what it looks like to create your own metrics! This is using the new meter APIs added in .NET 6. These interop with open telemetry so you can mix metrics from the runtime, libraries and your own as well. They're all open telemetry compatible by default! #opentelemetry

Entertaining and educational (TIL about the ‘::selection’ selector) as always 😂

@jeffwilcox It's always "GitHub" or "github" for me. Never "Github".

@JamesNK Honestly, isn’t ICanBindEndPoint better than IEndPointBindable anyway?

@JamesNK Reminds me of ICanHasNuget, which we were going to use as a way for VS Project Systems to opt in to NuGet logic 😂

Today, in a code review, the #aspnetcore team rejected my proposal to name an interface ICanBindEndPoint. Apparently, the I interface prefix can't be used to also refer to the current instance. This is a miscarriage of justice, and I will be appealing to the .NET supreme court.

@marcgravell @terrajobst Yeah, there are a few local breweries here with NA beers as well. I'll have to give it another try!

@analogrelay @terrajobst Guinness zero is awesome. I like the gins - Gordon's do a nice zero. Here (UK), the main brands have a zero and they're pretty good. Micro-brewers are experimenting too. Huge growth in zeros/ultra-lows.

PSA: alcohol tastes horrible 13+ months dry here; wife wanted to have a real beer - she found she hates it, gave me a sip to taste; I hated it too. Poured down sink. Same experience with wine. Alcohol tastes vile; we just forget that we've desensitised ourselves to it.

@aizeekay The expression “foo.Require()” is just shorthand for “foo ?? throw new UnreachableException()”.

@aizeekay Required members don’t really do the same thing as our “Require” extension method. Required properties prevent you from initializing the type without setting the property. Our extension method is about consuming nullable properties.

Now that we've rolled out our .NET 7 update, I can blog about one of my favorite little features in .NET 7: UnreachableException ab.bot/blog/that-shou…
