[Wayback/Archive] dodyg/practical-aspnetcore: Practical samples of ASP.NET Core 2.1, 2.2, 3.1, 5.0, 6.0 and 7.0 projects you can use. Readme contains explanations on all projects.
By the time you read this, all examples should have been rewritten to use minimal API footprint so it easier to get just the essentials from each example.
Via [Wayback/Archive] dodyg on Twitter: “I just realized this repo has about around 1500 samples in total because for each version of ASP.NET Core the samples get modified in some ways beyond project increment, e.g for .NET 6, all samples gets rewritten to use minimal API.”

For cleaning an Apple Silicon MacBook there were already solutions to either disable the keyboard or to blacken the screen:
Screen Test & Clean
In Version 2.3, Only Switch brings a new feature, Screen Test. It provides a pure color view in full-screen mode, you can check dead pixels via it. Press the left and right arrow keys, the color will change from black, white, red, green, and blue. This functionality also can be used for screen cleaning, as you can see the stains on the screen.
For keeping a Mac turned off however, there hadn’t been a solution for a long time.
Now there is, but you need to have the most recent update of macOS Sequoia 15 by adding a nvram BootPreference setting: [Wayback/Archive] Prevent a Mac laptop from turning on when opening its lid or connecting to power – Apple Support

[WaybackSave/Archive] Corran Addison – The best, most cogent and elegantly simple explanation into the inexplicably destructive negotiating processes of the president,by Prof. David Honig of Indiana University. | Facebook
…
So when you approach international negotiation, in a world as complex as ours, with integrated economies and multiple buyers and sellers, you simply must approach them through integrative bargaining. If you attempt distributive bargaining, success is impossible.
…
From a professional negotiation point of view, Trump isn’t even bringing checkers to a chess match. He’s bringing a quarter that he insists of flipping for heads or tails, while everybody else is studying the chess board to decide whether its better to open with Najdorf or Grünfeld.

Over the years, WordPress started to beautify more and more text thereby malforming many (read thousands) of my older blog posts.
An example is this:
--jeroen
is now rendered as
–jeroen
The two hypen-minus signs or -- have become a en-dash or –, not even an em-dash or — that is is double the width of an en-dash.
So after figuring out the cause, I asked if one could change it for a WordPress.com blog backed by a premium account: [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “Hi @wordpressdotcom, how do I globally disable wptexturize for a paid wiert.wordpress.com blog (it has Premium subscription)? Over the years, it has malformed more and more of my text which I don’t want (as it is way too much work to re-visit thousands of blog posts).”
Unbelievably, the answer is no!
So WordPress.com mandatorily changes the display of all your old Premium blog posts and the only solution they offer is to upgrade for another USD ~17 per month to disable it.
