Absolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis. You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West

Chart showing solar panel exports from China (the main solar panel maker by a long shot) growing steadily & mightily from 2018 through 2026, then spiking by almost 2x in March 2026.

“Do more with less” How about just do less? Was that not the promise we were supposed to receive with technology and automation? That we could have more time for life?

recently saw this TERRIBLE advice to “write more human”: - don't use “curly” quotes, use straight quotes ( " and ' ) - don't use en or em-dashes, use -- and --- - never use an ellipsis (…), use three dots (...) please for the love of god don't write worse because ai exists. good typography is cool!

a weird side effect of enjoying writing and reading is that I’ve been accused a few times of using LLMs to write because I do things “humans don’t do” (e.g. use a semicolon properly)

Happy to announce TSRX. Think of it as the spiritual successor to JSX. We extracted it from Ripple, and made it framework agnostic. It can compile to React, Ripple and Solid, other frameworks to come soon. tsrx.dev

Last week, a gentleman returned this rather dilapidated copy of this famous book to us after 50 years. He had found it in his attic! Presumably this means there is a pristine copy somewhere in our libraries....

A picture of a rather dilapidated copy of "The picture of Dorian Gray" There is visible water damage to the cover and the plastic cover is yellowing. Obviously, not evident from the picture but there is a truly foul musty smell emanating from it!
