New toy, who dis?

Dear internet, for the physical quantity duration, the official SI symbol is "s" (never "sec").

I won't cry for You, Argentina

curt: The term 'curt' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

I've created an integration testing framework for Azure Functions (dotnet-isolated) that provides a WebApplicationFactory-like experience. Please give it a try and tell me what you think. github.com/bjorkstromm/... #dotnet #azure #azurefunctions

Something like this perhaps? github.com/patriksvenss...

I just completed "Lobby" - Day 3 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/3 Had fun with recursive functions today. #fsharp github.com/bjorkstromm/...

I just completed "Gift Shop" - Day 2 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/2 Still having fun with #fsharp. It's such a lovely language. github.com/bjorkstromm/...

I've completed "Secret Entrance" - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/1 Haven't touched #fsharp since last year. So I have been looking forward to this for some time now. Anyway, here's my solution. Not so elegant, but it works. github.com/bjorkstromm/...

I bought my first Black Sabbath album (Between Heaven and Hell - compilation album) 30 years ago. I've listened to Ozzy ever since. Thank you for the music, Ozzy.

🍰 dotnet cake.cs - Cake.Sdk Preview! New way to get Cake .NET tool scripting in .NET console apps: ✅ File-based builds (.NET 10) ✅ Project-based builds (.NET 8/9/10) ✅ Auto-generated aliases ✅ Full addin/module support Early feedback wanted! cakebuild.net/blog/2025/07... #CakeBuild #DotNet

FFS, we (Cake) have advocating for running C# as scripts for more than 14 years, and before us ScriptCS. It feels like I've been taking crazy pills, but this is not a new, world-changing thing. They've (finally!) just made it more ergonomic. At least they could have credited prior art...

Sweden?

It’s frustrating when running a non-profit event and being asked for favors by for-profit, who in my mind should be able contribute.

I just completed "Bridge Repair" - Day 7 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/7 At first glance I thought part 2 would be difficult, but in the end it was just adding a new operator. My solution in #fsharp can be found here: github.com/bjorkstromm/...

I just completed "Print Queue" - Day 5 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/5 Today's solution in #fsharp was pretty simple once I found the sort method that takes a comparer. github.com/bjorkstromm/...

If you see this, post a knight

As usual, stuff that my kids have been listening to ruins my #SpotifyWrapped. But at least some of the music I listen to is on the list.

I just completed "Ceres Search" - Day 4 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/4 Slicing using Array2D today. #fsharp github.com/bjorkstromm/...

I just completed "Mull It Over" - Day 3 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/3 Today really shows where #fsharp shines. Active patterns!Such a nice way to build simple parsers. github.com/bjorkstromm/...

I've completed "Red-Nosed Reports" - Day 2 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/2 Today's solution in #fsharp and found Seq.windowed useful as usual. Solution here: github.com/bjorkstromm/... Pt 2 could be more performant if we stop once we find a safe combination.

I just completed "Historian Hysteria" - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/1 It's that time of the year when I try to write some #fsharp. You can find my solution here: github.com/bjorkstromm/...

Attended the public defence of my younger brother's doctoral thesis today. Interesting stuff 🙂 www.abo.fi/en/news/doct...

The hoops you have to jump through in order to move a domain from one Azure Front Door to another... Using domain name as a primary key in Azure CDN was a big design mistake. This prevents easy migration of the domain from one profile to another. In our case we'll need to go AFD -> AppGW -> AFD.

Durable Task Scheduler is something I'm really looking forward too after spending the last couple of months with Durable Functions. techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/AppsonA...
