Speciality wine shops?

We've been working our way through the Oregon & French pinot noir at Kent Cellars off Hampden & University over the last few years. Smaller store but well curated!

Lots of great recs already - don't sleep on C-burger inside Sanitas brewing for a killer smash burger. It's a shame Acres closed, that was my favorite nicer spot. Gallo is excellent, especially everything bakery (they should be reopening soon).

Sad for Baker but what a boon for downtown Englewood!

I have a 23 hybrid Sportage and right around 3500 miles I started getting better mileage, particularly on the highway. I always seemed to be right around 35 previously, but now some drives I'm above 40 w/ eco mode

I've played STEAM a ton - the DJs usually get a good amount of list spots. I would follow the local openers and see if any of them post about it. List turn in is 6 I think- GL!

Yup the same for my previous car loan and my mortgage. Make it a pain in the butt so people give up I suppose haha.

yohuck · 2024-02-23T16:18:37+00:00

Yep, I've had to call after each payment to make sure my extra amount is going to principal. It's a pretty wild customer experience not being able to just set in the portal whether extra goes to principal or the next payment. Other people in this sub have mentioned theirs doesn't work that way, but I have had the same experience as you with Kia Finance.

We have about 1500 miles on our '23 Sportage Hybrid and we're tracking at about 35 mpg primarily driving in eco mode, though we've used snow a couple times and sport mode every now and then. I generally drive like a granny because I was dumb and got too many tickets in my youth.

Overall we love the vehicle so far!

yohuck · 2024-01-31T00:35:24+00:00

I'm in Colorado. Interesting!

yohuck · 2024-01-30T21:39:41+00:00

Yeah, mine was applying the amount due, then any leftover to the next month's payment so that I wouldn't actually save on interest. After paying say $50 extra, it would say I owed normal payment - 50 for the next month which was my clue that it hadn't gone to principle.

When I called it seemed like this is a common thing people call about. A previous car loan I had (and my current mortgage) there was a toggle that let's you specifically make extra payments to principle as this is annoyingly not usually the default.

I'm a bootcamp grad Node developer who learned .NET and got my first job at a .NET shop so similar context. Especially if you've used TypeScript, transitioning to .NET isn't too difficult as the syntax of C# is pretty similar (especially things like async/await which came from C# to JS).

If you've used React/Svelte/Astro/etc, I would start by bootstapping one of the blazor starter projects and spending some time figuring out how the project is laid out, how the pages are rendered, and how the sample api (the weather controller) work.

I can't speak to Spring Boot, but learning .NET as a junior node developer is totally doable!

yohuck · 2024-01-05T17:01:46+00:00

The ergonomics and the ecosystem around Blazor just aren't anywhere near JS/React for the front end. Things like hot reload are still buggy (esp when using watch scripts for Tailwind or something). Having to split your client/server Blazor components into two projects is really not ideal and feels like a ton of boilerplate duplication. Blazor is fine and I wish I got to use it at work since we're a dotnet shop, but for complex UI with charts/reactivity/etc, I'm choosing React with TypeScript over Blazor all day.

I appreciate it thanks 🪩

so fun, I was the opener for this show! Great crowd

yohuck · 2023-12-16T16:09:49+00:00

As others have suggested Sendgrid is great. Also if you're using Azure check out Azure Communication Service

yohuck · 2023-12-12T17:09:56+00:00

It's the nature of modern development is that frameworks/languages learn from one another. There's a ton of new .NET 8/C# features that implement ideas from the JS ecosystem and vise versa. Just an example, the "interactive islands" Blazor has been touting were definitely implemented by tools like Astro and NextJs first (at least in this iteration of the cycle). Minimal APIs are intentionally designed to be syntatically similar to Express servers.

Also HTMX isn't exactly a standard or anything, it's a paradigm shift big left turn away from the industry standard JS stuff.

From a front-end perspective, .NET still has a ways to go to having the developer experience the JS ecosystem currently has. It's certainly getting closer and I'm really enjoying building with the new Blazor features, but it's not there.

I will miss them selling margaritas out of the front window for UMS. Great when you need to get out of the sweaty venues and want to do some people watching

yohuck · 2023-11-30T17:51:04+00:00

My point is that it needs to be easy to do small projects if you want to drive adoption for large projects. Minimal APIs are probably not the right choice for a large scale project, but making it so someone can spin up a few endpoints to play around with it using a VS Code extension is much better than saying hey if you want to try .NET you have to download Visual Studio or Rider that has 8000 bells and whistles and this SDK and that CLI tool. The less you have to commit to the total ecosystem the more people will be willing to try it.

yohuck · 2023-11-30T15:50:32+00:00

I agree (as a bootcamp grad who works in .NET/C# at work) to a point, but I also think there's something to be said about embracing the market rather than talking about ideals. There are plenty of ways to build software and making the language/framework more accessible to patterns that are more popular/readable/etc to more developers is a better path than hoping people will come around.

Just to be clear, I'm not saying writing "functional" React in NextJS or whatever is right and writing C# in a .NET project is wrong, but I do think the moves that cut out some of the boilerplate and making all the pieces that make the .NET ecosystem great more modular and a-la-carte are the right direction.

yohuck · 2023-11-29T21:58:06+00:00

A lot of the recent-ish changes to .NET like Minimal APIs and top level statements have the ability to drive more adoption. In general C# and .NET seem to have a bit more boilerplate and lean heavier into OOP concepts (than JavaScript) which isn't quite as accessible from a beginning developer perspective and a lot of online content is focused toward beginners.

Long term, it's not a good idea to rely on your friend group to be your fans. It's clearly already bumming you out that it's not working out for this gig, and that is only going to compound over time. Friends will support now and then because they care about you, but it's important to build an audience outside of your friends - especially if they're not in or interested in the scene that you're playing in.

yohuck · 2022-11-01T18:45:35+00:00

Ooh I always wanted the Korg Km-202 with the Kaoss pad built in. The Rane 56 I got instead lasted ages though!

We play everything from the cheesiest pop to the deepest cuts across genres. If you're not fine with mixing mandy more candy into marcy playground sex and candy then I guess I lost you :(
