Great interview / talk!

Cool. I wasn’t familiar with the book before. Just started listening to it as an audiobook and enjoying it so far. Its biographically driven style and structure, and the topic itself, remind me of “The Idea Machine” by M. Mitchell Waldrop.

Running change detection in Angular - Manual control of detection in app Angular.love - a place for all Angular enthusiasts created to inspire and educate.

I think that is normal in dev mode. In dev mode Angular runs a second change detection cycle to help you find some sneaky problems that might be difficult to find without the framework helping you with the famous ExpressionChangedAfterItHasBeenChecked error.

Obsidian’s CEO on why productivity tools need community more than AI Steph “kepano” Ango on how software can be a superpower and why you don’t need AI to supercharge your life.

Some of you might be aware that #Angular is converging with #Wiz, an internal #Google web framework.

Over the last few months, we've invested in "converging" Angular DevTools and adding support for Wiz apps and this led to some interesting revelations which have stuck on my mind.

We've been working hard on signal visualization in #Angular #DevTools and would love to know what would be most useful for you. Any features, ideas, use cases you have in mind? Please let us know!

(Also fixing the tag for @igorsedov.com, thanks for the great video! 🙏)

Netscape: Eich started work at Netscape Communications Corporation in April 1995. He originally joined intending to put Scheme "in the browser", (5l but his Netscape managers insisted that the language's syntax resemble that of Java. As a result, Eich devised a language that had much of the functionality of Scheme, the object- orientation of Self, and the syntax of Java. He completed the first version in ten days in order to accommodate the Navigator 2.0 Beta release schedule. 51[61 At first the language was called Mocha, but it was renamed LiveScript in September 1995 and finally - in a joint announcement with Sun Microsystems - it was named JavaScript in December 17181 Simultaneously, he designed the first SpiderMonkey engine, to execute the new language in the Navigator browser.

In a world of fast content and even hotter takes, I highly recommend the YouTube channel 'Developer Voices' by @krisajenkins.bsky.social. I discovered it while exploring Zig. His interview with @kristoff.it features great questions and highlights his abilities as a host.

SA profile is really nice and the colors look good. Good choice. 🙂

Oh nice! What switches and keycaps are you planning to use?

But should you really? Resistance is futile anyway. 😉

I‘m also quite tempted and the improvements of the Halcyon series sound great - especially the replacement of TRRS with USB-C for connecting the two sides.

If you want to continue the party with myself, @kball.llc, and @selfteachme.bsky.social follow along at dysfunctional.fm!

Thanks for the great post! I learned a lot.
