From our friends at Futility Closet:Here are a penny and a quarter. Make a statement. If your statement is true, then I’ll give you one of these coins (not saying which). But if your statement is false, then I won’t give you either coin.Raymond Smullyan says, “There is a statement you can make such that I would have no choice but to give you the quarter (assuming I keep my word).†What statement will accomplish that?Answer is here.

by Dan Robinson The explosions/detonations of HT radios targeting the militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon continue to make headlines, with latest reports digging into the origins of the units and containing reaction from ICOM. This story is one of those rare occasions when the radio manufacturing industry is thrust into the spotlight. Reuters reported that: [...]

Finally, several posts in, I'm actually going to start talking about abstraction using DigiMixer as the core example. When I started writing DigiMixer (almost exactly two years ago) I didn't expect to take so long to get to this point. Even now, I'm not expecting this post to cover everything about abstraction" or even all ... Continue reading Abstraction: Introduction

It's entirely possible that I've posted something on this topic before. I know I've posted about it on social media before. Every so often - thankfully not too often - I see a post on Stack Overflow containing something like this: This looks like a bug in VS.NET" I'm 100% sure my code is correct" ...

When I wrote my preview DigiMixer post, I was awaiting the arrival of my latest mixer: a Behringer Wing Rack. It arrived a few days later, and I'm pleased to say it didn't take long to integrate it with DigiMixer. (It's now my main mixer.) While most of the integration was smooth sailing, there's one ...

Good Morning, Readers, Over the past few weeks, I have received messages from several of you stating that you are no longer getting email notifications via WordPress when new articles are posted on the SWLing Post. I have contacted support, and they believe they may have resolved the issue. I had the same issue with [...]

I really thought I'd already written a first blog post about my Election 2029 site (https://election2029.uk) but I appear to be further behind on my blogging than I'd thought. This is therefore a little odd first post in the series, but never mind. To some extent it isn't particularly related to the election site, except ...

Shortly after writing my previous post, a colleague pinged me to say she'd figured out what was wrong - at least at the most immediate level, i.e. the exception itself. Nothing is wrong with the ordering code - it's just that the exception message is too easy to misread. She's absolutely right, and I'm kicking ...

Introduction It's been over 8 months since I started my UK Election 2029 site, and high time that I actually wrote an introduction post so that I can get into more detailed topics later. In 2024, shortly after the UK general election was announced, I created a small site at https://jonskeet.uk/election2024, initially to keep track ... Continue reading Election 2029: Introduction

Technical overview This post is mostly for scene-setting purposes. There's nothing particularly remarkable here, but it's useful to get the plain facts out of the way before we get into genuinely interesting design aspects. Just as a reminder, go to https://election2029.uk if you want to see what any of this looks like at the moment. ... Continue reading Election 2029: Technical overview

Data models (and view-models) and how they're used I was considering using the term architecture" somewhere in the title of this post, but it feels too pompous for the scale of site. I could probably justify it, but it would give me the ick every time I used the term. But this post will basically ... Continue reading Election 2029: Data Models

Storage Since my last post about the data models, I've simplified things very slightly - basically the improvements that I thought about while writing the post have now been implemented. I won't go into the details of the changes, as they're not really important, but that's just to explain why some examples might look like ... Continue reading Election 2029: Storage

Records and Collections This post is to some extent a grab-bag of points of friction I've encountered when using records and collections within the election site. Records recap This may end up being the most generally useful blog post in this series. Although records have been in C# since version 10, I haven't used them ...
