thanks for the work that your team does!


What brand/models of contacts ended up working well with your astigmatism? I find that one of my eyes has issues with the contact losing alignment too frequently, and so I’m always looking for other options. Thanks!


I've been wearing lenses since the 90s. These days I wear 1-Day Acuvue Moist for Astigmatism for the most part, released in 2006, and they continue to be my overall favorite.

I keep trying newer lens technologies as they come out, but mostly it's been a bust. However I do also like Precision1 for Astigmatism water gradient lenses, which came out in 2021. They are thicker and more stable overall, with slightly higher vision quality, but prone to drying up if I don't blink.

Occasionally for a change I'll wear Acuvue Oasys 1-Day for Astigmatism, which came out in 2017.

All three work well for me but the Acuvue Moist are the ones I tend to reach for the most often. It depends a lot on the individual and the fit, I think.


I do have some astigmatism so I'll keep this in mind.


I got a MSc in Controls Systems, spent over a decade getting crap pay for highly technical and extremely stressful work, then made a conscious decision to go to the bottom of the software Eng ladder and climb my way up.

Ended up getting 3-4x the pay for 3-4x less stress.


IMO it’s also difficult when you’re in the initial phases of a new company/product, because the system is evolving fast and that doesn’t play nice with single-table-design needing upfront design to work well.

I have had much better luck sticking to a plain old relational DB stack for those phases, because it’s fast to iterate, and then consider moving to single-table NOSQL when the system/DDD has “gelled” and traffic is starting to hockey-stick


If you raise issues on the asp.net repo and tag David Fowler, he's pretty passionate about removing allocations whereever possible :)


Michal Strehovsky rocks. I appreciate that he pushes the edge from within Microsoft :)


yup, unless that's changed recently. he and Nick Craver have been making some great impacts there.


Thank you to everyone at TS involved in this feature!! It will solve a big pain point for us re reserved CGNAT ranges that were causing conflicts. Cheers


nu acknowledged powershell as one of its inspirations, yeah!!


There's also this awesome tool to make JSON interactively navigable in the terminal:

https://jless.io/ is similar, and will give you jq selectors so the two combine very well. (fx might have that feature too, I dunno)


Ah thanks, jless is actually the one I was originally thinking of and trying to find! :D
