I am taking a hiatus from Twitter for a while. This site has become too divisive, with all the conspiracy theories and name-calling, and it stresses me out too much. I will miss those tech people I follow but I am shown so much crap I don't care about.

@TheRichFromCali No. Do we need all these BS conspiracies?

@EverydayGene This administration is going to be the biggest group of criminals and anti-government hawks. The congress will be full of MAGA loyalists and election deniers. I'm not rooting for things to fall apart, but I'm expecting it. I only hope it's not as bad as I think it will be.

@the_codewala What's wrong with it? Maybe charge the battery.

How to repair this?(wrong answers only)

@RickStrahl Yea I preferred the icon in the tray and the panel sliding in. There is a new chat button behind both the plus icon and the history icon. At least this minute.

The Co-Pilot UI experience in Windows just keeps getting worse and worse. Besides the ridiculously slow load of the Co-Pilot 'app' (a Web Page/pwa?), there are two buttons and a bunch of non-useful suggestion boxes. Nowhere is there a New Chat button to be found. And even the two buttons are completely non-obvious as to function unless you click or Tooltip. Who thinks this is a useful User Interface? I get simple, but this is obtuse, almost like it's intentionally bad.

@EverydayGene @patriottakes Don't think DeSantis can find someone worse to replace him? Hold his beer.

@patriottakes Outta Florida - a win

On January 6th, Marco Rubio criticized the MAGA crowd attacking the Capitol. Now he is going to be the Secretary of State for the guy who inspired it.

@EverydayGene @CalltoActivism Then given how long Trump's previous SOS's lasted he will be out of a job.

@CalltoActivism St least he won’t be representing Florida any longer

BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump has selected Marco Rubio to be Secretary of State. Another terrible choice.

@1jordanjones3 @cptspatchcock @Noelle333369 @DogginTrump Machines are much more accurate and faster than a hand count. If I give you 10k ballots to count by hand and ask you to do it 5 times, I bet you will get 5 different counts.

@cptspatchcock @Noelle333369 @DogginTrump Hand count don't need machines. You don't need machines for everything. Ian Malcolm: spent all their time asking if they could but did not asking if they should.

@ddoomen Then have a very simple yaml that does nothing other than run a script, and do all the work in a script.

Did I already mention how much I hate YAML-based build pipelines?

@williamHuber12 @skar_of @adgirlMM It was just as fair this time, as it was last time. Give me an f-ing break. Trump lost in 2020 fair and square.

@skar_of @adgirlMM Your side just wasn’t able to rig it this time. The election was actually fair. Yes it seems odd the democrats didn’t cheat. We are all with you on that.

When your candidate lost in 2020 and thousands of people were dancing in the streets in celebration across the nation and all across the world, with bells ringing from the Eiffel Tower... and then your candidate wins in 2024 and there isn't one public celebration anywhere, not one –that's a good indication you're on the wrong side of history. And definitely not "the majority" of anything.

@_theDavidH_ @adgirlMM ooo, now do one by population rather than land mass.

@Dave_DotNet Depends on the project. If it is frequently updated I see no need to wait or only stick to LTS releases.

@pilotbob Yes = move, no = wait. What's your opinion Bob? Move or wait?

Will you move your production apps to #dotnet 9 or wait for .NET 10 (LTS)? Why? 🤔

@BritsDewey @JustVent6 @politvidchannel What shows pending or not received?

@JustVent6 @politvidchannel Accepting the results doesn’t mean there were not vote thrown away or not counted! I know several people who voted in person and their votes are “pending” or not received

BREAKING: Kamala's campaign says They can Overturn Trump's Election Victory with a Recount

@EvanAKilgore It's called ballot splitting.

With 87% of Arizona votes counted... Kari Lake: 1,425,546 Ruben Gallego: 1,470,600 Kamala: 1,389,309 Can somebody explain how Kari Lake has more votes than Kamala, but didn't beat her opponent??

@RickStrahl Mine's plastic but yes.

Who all has one of these? 🤣

@mjovanovictech This book is great on thos topic. amazon.com/Continuous-Del…

Stop being afraid of production deployments. All you need is a good system to revert changes. For some teams, deploying changes is scary. And rightly so. - Things can break - Subtle bugs can creep in - Databases can become corrupted Here's a better way to do deployments. The system I try to implement: - Trunk-based development - Many (many) tests - Feature flagging - Easy rollbacks There is only one main branch that everyone pushes changes to. Short-lived feature branches are also okay. When a commit lands on the main branch, it triggers a CI/CD pipeline. The pipeline builds the code, runs the tests, and deploys it in minutes. Where do feature flags come in? You develop new features behind a feature flag. If there's a problem, turn off the feature flag. I wrote a simple guide about working with feature flags in .NET. Read it here: milanjovanovic.tech/blog/feature-f… What else can we explore? Another approach worth considering is blue-green deployments. You deploy the new version to the green environment and gradually route traffic. If the deployment is stable, route all traffic to it. In case of problems, reroute traffic back to the stable blue environment. Blue-green deployments also unlock zero-downtime deployment.

@tuesdaydreams @SeaSnow15 @Logically_JC @egg_head84 Even before it was passed people were polled for a preference to the Affordable Care Act vs Obama Care and chose ACA overwhelmingly. #UniformedMasses

@EverydayGene Let's hope that doesn't happen.

@pilotbob What is even scarier is there is a branch in my family that is excited he will be “in charge” of vaccines and our health….
