Don't underestimate the impact of compound interest, they said! In a game I'm creating, I added .5% interest per minute (per tick), and over 3 days 261 gold has become 707 billion gold! Now, how can I get those interest rates in real life?!

My kids seem to be compiled with -vvvv on at runtime, should have compiled with -g.
I know a lot of customers who waited for this - they've been using it in preview - and now will appreciate that it's GA! Put simply, this provides better security controls for those containers that need to connect directly to Azure resources on ARO: https://red.ht/49WpoB8

It just seems like I'm getting much better quality technical videos on YouTube now-a-days, than I ever used to. Lots of interesting tech youtubers catering for some really interesting topics.

I've built a lot of apps, and I keep coming back to the web as the platform of choice, especially in 2026. That’s saying something from a terminal addict and self-hosting enthusiast. PWAs + modern web APIs have crossed a threshold: offline-first, installable and performant, and can feel "native".
