This has been truly inspiring to watch! I really appreciate you doing this in public.

This is my belief as well. Most usage of models in the future will be invisible to the user and locally run.

Was gonna say Pop Song 89 myself. I love the whole Green album though.

It's an English idiom, meaning a "minor annoyance" en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pet_peeve

I work on projects to fix minor annoyances that bug me.

I work on pet peeve projects myself.

The new pro controller feels sooo good!

Spotted at a used book store. Don't look for it there though, it came home with me 😁@htmx.org

Spending a bunch of time working on using sqlite in a high write application scenario. It's been interesting trying to engineer infrastructure and code to make it easily scalable but still simple.

The happiest dog, you’ll see today

Very well framed. Fantastic shot!

Why we built a new Kafka client for Node.js

The Node.js world needs better tools.

Here’s what you need to know:

Apache Kafka is vital for real-time data. It powers many businesses, especially in Fintech and Media.

These fields see heavy data usage and need reliable solutions.

What are you using as a RSS reader?

Amazon Canada has pre orders as well. But it's an invite only situation. Currently got the invite in, but no email yet.

How am I the first person to like this 2 hours after you posted it. Deep cut? 🤣

Not seeing a link to the book. I'd love to read this.

Oh yeah, definitely happening here too.

Ridiculous, as all of this has been. However this is dumb ( big surprise ) Canada exports extremely little dairy products to the US, but we import 600 million plus a year. So big surprise, this is going to hurt the US far more than it does Canada.

I know web stuff. Not a lot you can do to stop people from posting to them, but depending on where you are hosting your blog you could potentially read the referer data and block loading of posts for someone coming to your blog from those sites.

What would you call it?

I had a $0.01 cent bill for years. It was an S3 storage fee.

I don't think I played either of these. Have you tried Proton for emulation? Maybe they are just too old to run at all.

I was trying to publish my blog entry and my GH action failed to publish it. Making me rethink using any NPM module in this project. I almost don't need it at all. 🤔

Appropriate blog post I should have included in the initial message -> jvns.ca/blog/2024/09...

How did I sleep of "fish" shell for so long. Thanks @b0rk.jvns.ca for the suggestion. Not directly suggested to be clear, just their posts about shells was mentioning fish on occasion and so glad I started looking into it. Total game changer for the command line.

The Family Stone - Syntax and Subplots “The Family Stone” is a movie about a family in crisis set during Christmas.

It's pseudo Christmas movie season. My latest review gavey.ca/reviews/2024...

Great! Not sure how obsessed I'll become with this, but I'm worried for my free time 😂
