   It took Java long enough. The list of languages that already support string interpolation is... quite long: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_interpolation#Examples

   Great article that summarizes events to date & answers a lot of the questions I'd had about why Microsoft wouldn't be starting over again, by going this route.

   And to save you the trouble: the smallest watch that Garmin makes is the 34mm Lily ( https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/698519/pn/010-02384-03 ). The main reason my wife opted NOT to buy the Lily was that t

    They're doing people a favor. Fitbit is trash: the second Fitbit Charge we've owned in the last 3yrs has died, this time a Charge 5 that refused to turn on overnight 13 months after purchase -- 1 month after the warranty expired.

    I just did some cursory searching, and moissanite still seems pretty expensive. Am I missing something?

    OData is particularly atrocious, even the latest version (8.x). Entity Framework is getting better... EF8 may be the first version that achieves feature parity with (legacy) Entity Framework 6.x. If you're still using .NET Framework a

    The startup time of JetBrains Rider is so nice & quick. Going back to using Visual Studio 2022 after two years on the latest Rider version felt sluggish in a bunch of ways.

    I'm not sure whether Java is in decline, but it's a clunky language that I wasn't sorry to leave behind after moving on from my previous job. The only people I've met first-hand who love Java have been using it for year

    Huh. It's almost like the only way for these companies to make it big with AI is by cheating others out of fair compensation for their data. Who would have thought?

    JetBrains Rider on macOS is almost as good as Visual Studio 2022 on Windows. And JetBrains DataGrip is by far the best database IDE on macOS or Windows; going back from it to SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) recently was painful.

    Yep, it reads very easily like C# LINQ method & query syntax.

    I actually like it; it makes sense at a glance, without having read a single line of the official documentation. But I think people should be free to use either syntax -- method or query -- as they see fit, without judgment of which one is
