I wish I didn’t know base64 increases the size of something by 33%

Yo, what’s up with overflow menu dots being horizontal in iOS now? Am I going crazy?

As the pioneering cybernetician Stafford Beer famously wrote, "the purpose of a system is what it does." If your bureaucracy is more concerned with fighting fraud than delivering service, then it isn't a service delivery system at all - it's a service *denial* system. 32/

Stacked PRs in GitHub? Finally???! 😱 github.github.com/gh-stack/

Components written with HTML and CSS are not legos. They are pieces of wood we need to cut, glue, nail, screw and paint to fit into place

Are they for real…again? 🤦 Even if it would make sense to ban e2ee, you would need to ban people from writing their own encrypted apps. How is that anywhere close to feasible? And guess who’s going to ignore that? Yes, the really bad people we are trying to catch who are already breaking our laws!

Making pros/cons lists: Pros: - not cons Cons: - not pros

people that like big files: it’s less searching for the agent people that like code splitting across files: it’s less tokens for the agent

something is doing something to my SVGs...

I need to try that new WASM ESM integration with #Rust. There is no way it is this easy. Though I stay hopefully optimistic because Vite has already positively surprised me in the past 😄

🚀 Vite 8.1 is out ⚡ Experimental Full Bundle Mode: ~15x faster dev server startup & ~10x faster full reloads on large apps 🧩 Chunk Import Map to keep chunks stable & improve caching 🦀 WASM ESM integration 💡 Lightning CSS on the road to default 👀 and more! vite.dev/blog/announc...

Is @wsocial.eu the telegram to @eurosky.social signal?

If you’ve been as tired as me that recent tech innovation only consists of two letters, check this out! Happily surprised they also support browsers 👀

We just released the first stable version of iroh, v1.0! Read about it: www.iroh.computer/blog/v1 We're super proud of where we landed with iroh's 1.0. Since version 0.35 it feels like we've entirely replaced the "engine underneath". Are you a fellow key-dialer? Come tell us how you use iroh!

The client stores data on the server. But why can’t the server store data on the client? The client is just another node in a distributed system

My scale said “hello” to me before I reset it and returned it and now I feel bad about hurting its feelings I will never make any claims whether a text producing machine is alive or sentient

Do US Americans trust private companies more than their government?

The only reason I filled out the survey is because I want someone to know I need a selector for empty inputs and one for styling the current active link 😂 survey.devographics.com/survey/state...

Supply chain rug pull risk analysis: Out: VoidZero In: Cloudflare Half serious jokes aside, I’m happy for the maintainers to get paid

Announcing my auth book! A completely free online resource on implementing auth with fully-featured examples Over 10,000 words right now and I still have plenty of things to write about auth.pilcrowonpaper.com

We still don’t have a solution that matches empty inputs in #CSS? 🫩 I don’t want about :placeholder-shown or :valid hacks

Oh this is huge for component based frameworks. I have always struggled with this. Excited to try it out!

Universities should teach SQL not ORMs

It just compiled and it works now. I love #rust

Xteink Bluesky rejoices

How is it that I’m missing all the Rust surveys

As HTTP headers are case-insensitive, we have decided that going forward all our HTTP implementations will use sPoNgEbOb mOcKiNg cAsE e.g. "CoNtEnT-LeNgTh". Thank you for your attention.

PSA: that SVG Export is probably crap. You should clean it up.

Sometimes I search for things like “brew minimum age” and realize those words mean different things outside of tech

The Accessibility Problem Isn't Design. It's Engineering. Chris Gibbons argues that designers can document all the accessible components they want; in most companies, full stack developers don’t know how to actually implement them.

bless the CSS people. my tech news feed is all AI but the CSS people are still styling and just doing their thing because its fun and they love it and they make neat things. my heroes.

Okay so something that did start to annoy me about all the AI mandates is like So I am a card-carrying member of the Rust Evangelism Strike Force. You have to learn to not be obnoxious but in general I’m like “write & rewrite it all in Rust and your lives will be better in all these ways” 1/

component libraries are the ORMs of front end

If functions are only allowed to have a limited amount of lines then so should classes 🥴
