Would you describe an eval like a unit test at runtime? As opposed to something you run during development (locally, CI etc.)

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files.

It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.

hot take: this is not any better than getServerSideProps

direct db access in server components is great dx for hacky starters and then you’ll want to undo it more and more as your app grows and needs o11y/security/auth/caching etc

theres one killer app for RSCs - reducing js bundles. stick to that

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Taxing the wealth of UK’s richest would raise billions for public services | Letters Letter: Reforming the tax system is the smart solution to meet the societal challenges of today, says Robert Palmer

Tax Justice UK say:

There are 55 billionaires in the UK.

A 1% wealth tax on them and the very richest could raise Β£22bn a year.

Enough to pay 276,000 nurses AND double dental funding in England, with change to spare.

if this platform does stick around and one day overtakes twitter for active users it is quite the statement on what can happen when you ruthlessly prioritise efficiency over the quality of your product
