Had some fun this week end… it’s been a while I didn’t play with LEGOs but my heart melted when I saw this set !

Got my first test report out of ui5-test-runner@6... Still a long way to go through but this first milestone is exciting

but it requires authentication...

Hollow Knight (finished it this year)

Worst are oracle of seasons/ages
Best is Tears of the kingdom
+ Favorite (no specific order): wind waker, skyward sword, a link to the past

Fair enough 👍

Now I am questioning myself about which game I should play next ? I am looking into the Suikoden I & II remasters on switch or maybe one of the Dragon Quests ones.

Any opinion ?

Radiance done…
103% in 62 hours

… the last 5 hours on Radiance😅

Finished the « bad » ending of hollow knight. 38 hours, 84%. What a ride !

Tu peux revisionner le 2 c’est le même 🥲

Vue because you can build an app without additional packages

Good one, thx for sharing

I am still waiting for my job offer at 400K/year ;-)

* Do not abuse prototype inheritance if you want to transmit data to a WorkerThread
* The same module being loaded in different thread means the module is evaluated several times
* Have a strategy to stop worker threads and avoid blocking the process
2/2

Working with Node.js' WorkerThreads, I learned few useful lessons:
* Only the main thread has access to process signals and native stdout
* As a consequence, not all packages are designed to be executed in a WorkerThread
1/2

These days, most ui5-test-runner problems I hear of are related to the execution being stuck without any explanation... This is a real pain to detect and troubleshoot in the current version.

Version 6 will address this very specific issue using a different approach !

Useless? absolutely
But I had to do it... new logo for the runner themed with UI5 colors.

Forget about ts-node or tsx, Node.js 24 provides convenient ways to execute "natively" TypeScript, see nodejs.org/api/module.h...

I am looking for a code name for the next version of ui5-test-runner. My hope is to go with "FTL" but "FTK" (Faster Than Karma) will also do it ;-)

a bit early or a bit late ;-)

Beautiful !

Wouhou ! I created a multithreaded logger in Node.js...

The goal ?
* free up bandwidth for CPU intensive tasks,
* have a synchronous (hence thread blocking) compressed (hence CPU intensive) trace storage,
* implement a nice console output which does not block other threads.

was a fun ride !

Playing with Node.js threads (i.e. Worker)... It's a brand new world...

"You're absolutely right! "

...thank you LLM...

It’s a big responsibility when you decide to completely rewrite a component. Yet, I take this opportunity to improve all the little details that were bugging me over the last 5 years.

It will take time but it should be rewarding.

More than 80 different options for the ui5-test-runner command line. Quite some work to clean the mess and make it maintainable...

I gave a presentation tonight about MetaProgramming at JS Montreal. Got good feedback.

Indeed it is

I like refactoring: this is an opportunity to rewrite with the knowledge of all the faced challenges. Yet, this feels like a huge mountain to climb.

Sometimes I feel like when I want to ask a question to the LLM, I spend so much effort to formulate it the right way that I almost get the answer by myself...
