Nice! It was pretty easy to take my extension[1] from a middling Health and Review score to in the green. The obsidian eslint extension is helpful.

Great read. C# has the concept of nullable reference types[1] which requires you to be explicit if a variable can be null and the compiler is aware of this. I would love to see a similar feature in languages like TypeScript and Go.

I'm surprised Figma doesn't support offline mode given this blog post about how they built it.

This looks really cool! OpenAPI for CLIs is a great idea.

So you want to run untrusted code?

I added my site and received the following response:

I looked into the source code to determine how it's finding the update time. Come to find out, it's using ChatGPT! [0] It appears to only be looking at the article contents for the date, not at any page metadata.

The audiobook version of The Goal is the best audiobook I have listened to! Each character is voiced by someone else, which sometimes doesn’t work well for audiobooks, but in this case I think they knocked it out of the park. The main voice actor in particular is phenomenal. I have tried to figure out who voiced Alex, but all credits for the audiobook simply say “ensemble cast” or “unknown”.

Essential C# 8.0 - hands down. It is awesome both for beginners and experts. I've read it once, and keep it handy for reference. It's written by some of the most knowledgeable people there are on C#/.NET. I have also read one of the Head First C# books, and found it lacking once I got past the basics.
