Please add a community/community scope description.

The community description currently says

CircleJerkCommunity at request of a user.

But what is a programming circle jerk? What is a circle jerk? What is desired and accepted content? What's the expectation and scope on content?

It would help understanding what content to expect (subscribe, block, keep neutral?) and what may be postable or not.

(I was surprised about some post content being in this community and wanted to check my expectation/understanding.)

Hi, I made FuncSug to make GUI programming in the browser easier. It's a new language that aims to enable a clearer and easier code structure.

Can you tell me what you think about it?

Our 17.13 release of VisualStudio.Extensibility includes the following features:

• Enhanced editor extensibility through tagger support
• Expanded settings API to allow for observation of changed settings values

What are taggers/tags?

In Visual Studio, text decorators are one of the key differentiators that enhance this experience. These decorators, such as text colorization and CodeLens, offer contextual information to help developers understand and navigate their code more effectively. At the heart of these decorative features is the concept of taggers. Taggers are the mechanism to mark the text in the editor with hidden information, enabling the editor to adopt various text decorations later.

Extract to Component refactoring and the new Roslyn-based C# tokenizer are now available

This new tokenizer is not on by default until .NET 10 but is available in both Visual Studio (17.13) and Visual Studio Code for .NET 9.

To enable the C# tokenizer today, check the Use the C# tokenizer for Razor files in the IDE option under Tools > Options > Preview Features and add <Features>use-roslyn-tokenizer;$(Features)</Features> to a property group in your .csproj or directory.props file

This new lexer does currently come with some breaking changes, particularly around preprocessor directives

My website is implemented through Hugo, with content sources in Markdown. Metadata is added through a so-called "front matter" header within Markdown files. I noticed date metadata (front matter) was missing on content pages and consequently had 2001 on RSS feeds.

I used Nushell to en-mass add page dates after-the-fact, with date values determined through Git.

# Determine pages with missing date front matter (may be missing pages that have `date = ` as content)
glob **/*.md | where {|x| $x | open | not ($in | str contains 'date = ') } | save missing.json

# Determine content creation dates through Git add authoring date
open missing.json | wrap path | upsert date {|x| git log '--follow' '--diff-filter=A' '--format=%ad' '--date=iso' '--' $x.path | into datetime } | save dates.json

# Prepend date TOML front matter to closing fence
open dates.json | each {|x| $x.path | open --raw | str replace "\r\n+++\r\n" $"\r\ndate = \"($x.date | format date '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')\"\r\n+++\r\n" | collect | save -f $x.path }

Example [inline] result/fixup:

date = "2022-08-07 18:31:18"

Some work details and manual cleanup (e.g. pages with resource front matter where the date declaration must be placed before them) omitted.
