Spent an hour this morning scratching my head trying to figure out a rotary encoder on Pi Pico using GPIO interrupts... turns out the encoder was faulty, and the twin still in the bag on my desk: worked perfectly first time. Fun learning, even with initial failure!

This feels very much like a hungover Monday morning effort... "Terry, for the last time before I fire you, I need a name for that new product"... Terry says:

I figured I'd spend some of my "OSS sponsors" slush purse on trying code-signing certificates (people have asked about signed packages etc). Eesh this whole area is a massive PITA; every step seems designed to be painful (perhaps purposefully, for security). I'll keep poking.

Printers. Who still makes decent home-user colo[u]r printer that isn't tied into subscriptions etc, for occasional use? (Not for me; I have an office laser that I'm happy with, but is a bit of a PITA to setup etc for non-tech target user)

Your weekend reminder that the Tory National Service plan is a "distraction technique". They cannot fight the next election on the basis of their past competence (Brexit, COVID, Truss) so they want you to talk about something else. Ignore their agenda.

Great Community Standup by Jon Galloway and Marc Gravell about the upcoming HybridCache by Microsoft! And thanks for the shout out to FusionCache, really appreciate it: this can really be an awesome example of Microsoft+OSS working together 💪 youtube.com/live/TDyZc11cJ…

Looking at my local constituency results in the UK general election; kinda amazed that it is still *this close* and the incumbent (Harper) nearly retained their seat. Also did alarming how well Reform did. UK has challenges, but at least tory rule is over

Twitter just activated a setting by default for everyone that gives them the right to use your data to train grok. They never announced it. You can disable this using the web but it's hidden. You can't disable using the mobile app Direct link: x.com/settings/grok_…

Dilan Livera Jason Evans I can use Razor Components for statically-rendered pages and for the interactive WASM stuff. The site functions just fine while the WASM downloads, then switches to client-side and stops hitting the server.

representation is important. thank you unicode team.

You need to know about feature flags as a .NET developer. Feature flags are a software development technique that allows you to wrap application features in a conditional statement. You can then toggle the feature on or off in runtime to control which features are enabled.
