Svelte dropped this update the day after I ran into an issue with stores :D

Svelte@svelte.dev · 2y ago

Day 16 — `$app/state`, a modern Svelte 5 state-based replacement for SvelteKit's `$app/stores` module. No more clunky `$` prefix when reading values, just fine-grained state that works everywhere, even outside component files! 🎁 docs svelte.dev/docs/kit/$ap... 🎁 tutorial svelte.dev/tutorial/kit...

this was a harrowing read, but also one that is definitely worth your time: www.esquire.com/news-politic...

Introducing Limbo: A complete rewrite of SQLite in Rust

we forked SQLite with the libSQL project. What would it be like if we just rewrote it?

i've been trying to reverse engineer Google Find My Device, and it's been, uh, painful :/ since they use both gRPC and Protobuf, seem to be base64-ing protobuf blobs (??) within the json grpc, and I don't have a schema..

exactly! typescript has genuinely saved so much time for me - if it didn't exist, I probably would've given up web dev altogether

Matt Pocock@mattpocock.com · 2y ago

Everyone I know who fell in love with TS had a period of thinking it totally sucked

in a perfect world we would have a language with the type system and package manager of rust, the compile times of go, the package ecosystem of typescript and js/ts hot reloading

i forgot to add github releases to my project... which is a github release cli...

So uh, hawk tuah coin rugpulled. 💀

I just completed "Mull It Over" - Day 3 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/3 my input parser is a bit... verbose so to speak, but everything else looks good!

I've completed "Red-Nosed Reports" - Day 2 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/2 The code isn't amazing and could probably be faster (around 300 microseconds rn, but I'm aiming for ~100), but it works! github.com/SkyfallWasTa...

it's update time! - completed day 1 of #adventofcode - wrote a small blog post for my new site - and got 220 visits!! - tried to learn dijkstra's algorithm - did some hackathon planning (zenithhacks.org) - added a drafts system to my blog (skyfall.dev) - fixed contact link page

Just wrote a new blog post! skyfall.dev/posts/satori... #tailwind #satori #writing :)

I just completed "Historian Hysteria" - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/1 I did face a bunch of silly errors because of things like forgetting to multiply or adding instead of subtracting though 🤦‍♂️

Is it just me or has Mistral become kind of irrelevant?

Well i didn't get to do anything for a bit (because busy :/) but I managed to cook up some more stuff for my personal site! - I added generated OG images! (e.g. skyfall.dev/posts/first-...) not super pretty, and they don't show up on bsky for some reason, but they do show up on twitter/discord! 🧵
