Anyone know of a good JavaScript Unminify benchmark by chance? (Or want to build one) I’m thinking of a similar vibe to JSDeObsBench: jsdeobf.github.io An issue I opened for it previously: github.com/Ch3nYe/JsDeO...

Are there any similar benchmarks / leaderboards for JS unbundling / unminification? · Issue #3 · Ch3nYe/JsDeObsBench

The following idea / question came from discussion on j4k0xb/webcrack#189: And for comparing wakaru it would be a better idea to use a dataset for minifiers, transpilers and bundlers. Yeah, that's ...

That feel when you ignore your 'notify on post' notifications for like 2 weeks, and then you finally go to procrastinate by catching up on them, and scroll and scroll, and then instead of actually reading them you start to wonder how you can count how many need triaging...

A few weeks back I casually hacked together a PoC vibe coded chrome extension to help work around some of the annoyances I find with Chrome's Tab Group UX currently; and every now and then I've been making little tweaks to it to make it a bit nicer/more useful.

Speaking of old projects of mine; there's been some interesting discussion recently on one of my old gists that in part is about reverse engineering / figuring out the Serum VST preset file format.

Made a few more tweaks to my PoC web app build diff minimiser script the other day. It now can de-noise my 33,399 line sample diff down to just 3,991 lines; much easier to review/see the salient changes. See the posts in this thread (on Twitter / X) for more details: x.com/_devalias/st...

Does anyone know if there is anything like github.com/pypi-data / py-code.org but for the @npmjs.bsky.social / JavaScript ecosystem?

Many YouTube videos lately are clickbait and stretch out a Wikipedia page into 30 minutes. Many videos are just questions with simple answers. So I built tldw.tube: put in the URL and save your time! (No hate on Veritasium, it just happened to work well for the screenshot)

Do I know anyone in the InfoSec / Software Engineering / similar space of things; who also have experience with academia, and what goes into writing / publishing a paper / research? I’d love to learn more about what goes into the process / how to do so.

The results of my recent deep dive into exploring why humanify was broken by an update to @hirok.io 's pkgroll; which turned out to be related to how esbuild was transpiling import.meta usage when importing prettier stackoverflow.com/questions/77...

prettier "createRequire" The argument 'filename' must be a file URL object, file URL string, or absolute path string. Received undefined

I am using prettier programmatically, in code, with the format(jsCodeString) function. The code works locally, but when I bundle it with esbuild, in production prettier fails when it tries to dynam...

This afternoon's esoteric hyperfocus: crafting a convoluted GitHub CLI API command + JQ filter to reformat the output to view GitHub notifications in the CLI. Then a wrapper zsh script + gh alias to it.

That feel when you accidentally spend the better part of 2 days hyperfocussing into writing a pandoc --lua-filter script to rewrite the markdown output to the 'right flavour of syntax', just because emphasis/list markers aren't customizable: gist.github.com/0xdevalias/7...

There's not much to see here for now.. but I figured at the very least I would create a space over here in case I decide to use it more actively. In the meantime, you'll likely find more interesting content over at twitter.com/_devalias (when I remember it exists and can be bothered posting)
