I feel like that's the biggest issue in our industry and AI has just multiplied that tenfold. Software that improves people's lives is created with care. I feel like we're teaching a generation of developers that it's totally normal for stuff to be broken all the time. Not sure how to solve this.

Almost 20 days after launch, the new npmjs dark mode is still utterly broken. I celebrated when they released it. It's great to see npm working on new features. The web needs MS to invest in the registry. But this isn't the way. They should remove dark mode until they have the time to do it right.

I don't think I've ever talked on Bluesky about why I hate the Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl. Don't read any further unless you're prepared for uncomfortable truths about the "Nicest Guy in Rock", and his very substantial body count & subsequent cover-up.

Dave Grohl, throughout the years.

With all the excitement of (Same-Document) View Transitions (and more VT features) becoming Baseline Newly available (yay! 🎉), one might overlook the inclusion of the moveBefore() method. This method is a pretty big deal as it allows you to move elements around the DOM while preserving their state.

Firefox now supports view transitions, the command and commandfor HTML attributes, and the moveBefore() method. www.firefox.com/en-US/firefo...

not even slightly joking when I say that sora should not exist. it should be crime for something like it to be made available without restriction to the general public. its servers should be destroyed with hammers

Good post by @joehellerstein.bsky.social on the theoretical foundations behind CRDTs. Automerge has exactly the layered structure he describes (commutative ops on top of a partially ordered log semilattice). Looking forward to the rest of the series jhellerstein.github.io/blog/crdt-tu...

CRDTs #2: Turtles All the Way Down

This is the 2nd post in a series of 4 posts I'm doing on CRDTs. Please see the intro post for context. Modern distributed systems often seem to rest on an stack…

In 2016 I started this big paper collage (6x6 ft, all torn/cut by hand) that quickly devolved into a chaotic/grotesque portrait of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States I stopped working on it in 2021, nearly a year after J6 This🧵is about the ideas, sources, & references that inform it

Today, we’re announcing the preview release of ty, an extremely fast type checker and language server for Python, written in Rust. In early testing, it's 10x, 50x, even 100x faster than existing type checkers. (We've seen >600x speed-ups over Mypy in some real-world projects.)
