The two hardest problems in Computer Science are
1. Human communication
2. Getting people in tech to believe that human communication is important
TypeScript is a psychology experiment designed to see if you can read "the JavaScript API you know and love, but with the safety of strong typing!" and get so distracted by how much you like strongly typed languages that you forget that you do not, in fact, neither know nor love the JavaScript API
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️
As I’ve mentioned, the JavaScript for Everyone lesson on iterators was one of my favorites to write (frustrating as it was at times).

After React Conf and Remix Jam, it’s clear the differences aren’t just technical, they’re about values.
React accepts complexity as capability.
Remix chooses simplicity as liberation.

The final StaffPlus NYC is done. Here's what stuck with me: understanding VP constraints, recognizing useful crises, questioning conventional wisdom, and why I now have a mentorship problem. #StaffPlus #LeadDevNYC

Really disappointed to find out that Johnny Cash didn't actually shoot a man in Reno just to watch him die. I realize it makes a nice lyric but no matter your intentions it's irresponsible to be spreading misinformation in this current environment. He needs to take it down

Did you catch the Wordpress drama late last year?
Hello Mr. Ghoulberg,
Are you worried about the cyber-security of your crypt? Read our whitepaper today about why upgrading to bcrypt can help.
Looking forward to your thoughts.
Microservices have yielded simpler components but more complicated systems.
Today I discovered that my int-to-float handling code is IEEE-753.99993896484375 compliant.
Why yes, configuring @warp-drive.io did just get a lot easier. Glad you noticed!

Staff+ engineers aren’t promoted, they’re absorbed into the system. Here’s the canon of books, essays, and guides that help you survive it laconicwit.com/the-staff-ca...
I recommend Release It! By Michael T. Nygard often to junior engineers to introduce them to concept around building reliable systems.
Really appreciate the thoughtful reply, I really love digging into these kinds of details!
I wasn't aware of the Browser Mode limitation, but I should have suspected the live binding was a bit too convenient. 🫣
Most of the time you’re using vi.mock, you probably shouldn’t be.
It's too global, too brittle, and too easy to misuse.
vi.spyOn is almost always the better choice.

i spent the last month or so exporting @glitch.com apps, trying new (& old) services to migrate my most precious projects to, and i streamed it all to bring awareness to the community & help them find their solutions in a crunch.
here’s my list of post-glitch hosting options & links/dates to know 🎏

@warp-drive.io (formerly #emberdata) version 5.5-alpha.21 is compatible with any framework that works with a signals concept. Even multiple on one page sharing data. Pluggable reactivity ftw. Official #svelte/#vue/#preact/#lit integrations coming soon. ✨🌌

~45% of US corn production is now used to make ethanol, mostly for mixing into gasoline.
That's ~13% of all US crop land already used for energy production.
Using some of the same land for solar panels would capture 50-100 times more energy per acre.

I've got another draft post about mocking 80% complete. Just need to find some time to polish it.
Same for US and European airports.
I just met with Mohsen Mahdawi where he’s being held in Vermont.
He was detained when he showed up for his citizenship interview.
He should be released so he can become a citizen.
