Whereas on Netflix UK, Serenity is still available, and Firefly is AWOL. 
Meanwhile, the series Ad Vitam[^] was supposed to be released globally on 2nd August. It's still showing as "will appear in your list when it becomes available". Netflix support claim no knowledge of it.

Finished my JSON caching entity technique, and posted a huge article. Who was it that said "I hate writing, but love having written?" I feel that so hard right now.
It worked shockingly well right from the start, despite being based on a bit of tomfoolery to make it more efficient. I love when everything just works out of the gate - it's a sign of a good architecture.
Especially given working with messy webservices and JSON repositories this technique I've developed works really well.
For those of you that wondered why I didn't use expando objects instead of manually wrapping the JSON i explain it in the article. It will be here once it's posted: https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/5205507/Using-JSON-Based-Entities-for-Caching-Remote-Data

I am exploring ways to access mediawiki's API right now; Forogar may not be the only one to be interested in a careful reading of your article.

the only caveat is it exploits a really nice path based access scheme that TMDb's API exposes. If yours doesn't you'll have complicate the code some.

The architecture in itself is interesting, so I don't mind if this may not be a ready-to-use library. I'll mess with it if I need

totally, the whole point was to show you how to do it for your own stuff. Most people probably don't need a TMDb wrapper, but it illustrates a concept, and rather than a library, since every service is kind of one off, it's best just to treat it as a technique.

Let me know if you have any questions. Or find any nasty bugs. I sometimes am terrible at explaining things, but i'm eager to please so i'm happy to offer my help if it's needed.

Posting this in the hopes it prevents others from having the same issues and frustrations.
Having been following the .NET Core progress, and regularly upgrading previews, my list of installed SDKs had bloomed to a couple dozen or so. Read the docs and followed the instructions to remove the old SDKs using the standard App uninstall process.
After trimming it down to the recommended versions, plus preview 9 of .NET 3.0, I found that VS2019 Preview would not load SDk projects, reporting that it could not find the required SDK. Additionally, the dotnet command no longer worked.
Tried re-installing SDKs and VS2019 Preview, to no avail.
Applying some Google-Fu, I found that the path for the dotnet tools and SDKs had been removed from the PATH. Adding C:\Program Files\dotnet\ to the PATH fixed everything.

Thanks for the tip, we had an issue recently installing a new SDK version on our builder, might be related to this.

This is why I don't install pre-releases with microsoft products. Their pre-release setups get broken eventually and your updates hose your system for future installs.
Best to wait for release, or install prerelease on a VM

What's funny is i've seen microsoft test, and by any account they do a better job of it than a lot of software houses out there. full regression testing and code coverage. It's crazy, they have rooms full of people just writing tests.
But still, it is what it is. =/

It's big. That's why.
You simply can't make tests covering all situations.

I'm trying to draw a (very rough) guess at a new "lid" for my Sous Vide*
I've drawn a rectangle for the "indent" into the chamber and am rounding the corners to the right radius. And two of them are perfect! But the other two won't work - I just get an error message about corners not touching. An hour later, and I work it out: I'm selecting the corners in the wrong direction - you have to select them in the right direction: top left to bottom right, regardless of which corner it is. I've been selecting the left had pair TL-BR but the right hand pair BR-TL and for some reason that confuses it.
I hate other people's software, sometimes.
This is going to take a while, I think ... and this is just the "solid" version, not the "2mm thick with diagonal bracing" version I might want to print.
* I multi-purposed my deep fryer as I don't deep fry much, and it's quick to convert back. So it;'s a big metal insulated pot, and I added at 1/2 gastronorm perspex lid with a hole cut for the temperature controller - but it doesn't fit right, and I'd like to make a better one, with internal insulation. The possible 3D printer does up to 21x21x20cm, so I'd have to make it in four sections (or more accurately, eight - four bottom, four top so I can insulate the interior) but ...

Fusion 360 - it's free for hobbyists / startups and it's certainly fully featured.
Just wish the official tutorials were better.
It comes recommended by ThisOldTony, if you've seen any of his YouTube channel.

got a new samsung/android to replace my 3 year old samsung/android
- a little bit bigger (apparently twice the resolution)
- got 3 cameras!!! the old one only had 2
... that's 50% more camera for my half dozen or so pics per year!!
- got more memory
- got more battery (slightly)
- got more ... zzzzz
does everything the old one did ... some messages, calls [that I occasionally answer]. google maps, bike ride tracking, and, and, ummm, no I think that's it.
can't complain, free (as was the old one), well apart from wasting time to transfer my old info over
oh but yeah!!!
it's got the usb type c plug instead of the mini (micro?) usb
... so now I need another wire hanging around to charge it up (still need the old usb for some other items)
actual net gain: another charging cable I'll probably misplace sometime soon and have to order extra from fleabay. yay!

You can buy USB-C(M) to USB-B(F) connectors on FleaBay - they are about 25mm long, and would fit on your existing cable(s). Not expensive either - I bought some recently by mistake (I wanted USB-C(F) to USB-A(M)) and they were £3 for five.
Don't ask. Just don't.

how many do you still have?
(gotta love the old n for $x marketing ploy when you really only need/can use one.)
hmmm, I'll use this one, and put the other 4 in a safe place.
either:
- lost (only found about a year after they become redundant while looking for something else)
or/and
- given today's chinesium production quality rot, leaving behind a toxic sticky mess (regardless climate.)
