@thebodyserve.bsky.social Matt Futterman did issue a full-throated apology on the @tennispodcast.bsky.social and I believe also apologized to Coco directly. This doesn’t excuse or undo what he said, but I thought it deserved mention, as not every clueless white man would own up to what they did.

So far, I've had a lot more luck getting LLMs to review and help me fix issues with my code than generate or fix code. GitHub Copilot specifically sometimes generates suggestions I like, but it can also be very insistent when I know I don't want it to suggest something. So, it's kind of a wash.

@feross.bsky.social Hey Feross! Heard you talk about Socket Firewall on a podcast and was about to install it when I noticed that it only scores a 77% on supply chain security and quality on socket.dev. Also, the package was created 8 years ago but you said it was new. Should I be worried?

@pzuraq.bsky.social Enjoyed learning about Signalium and our chat about how it compares to atoms/Jotai. Excited to learn more about it.

@philna.sh, Great chatting with you at #cascadiajs. Hope to see you again next year!

@syntax.fm, Hey Scott & Wes, are you guys planning to be at any upcoming US conferences?

One really annoying habit of Copilot autofill in VSCode is when I delete the thing it recently auto-filled, and as soon as I lift my finger up from the Delete key, it re-suggests the thing I just deleted. Then I have to escape out of it. Sometimes twice. I hoped the UX would be more mature by now.

@thebodyserve.bsky.social, re Petra Kvitova reaching peaks of play that have not been surpassed, I’m thinking Keys at Australia this year should be in the conversation. Not to take anything away from PK!

Welp, I've been giving Arc Browser for Windows the old college try for a while now, but it's never really stopped being glitchy, and now The Browser Company has deprecated it, so I think the time has come to go back to Brave, but this time, with the "Use vertical tabs" option turned on.

@thebodyserve.bsky.social Taylor once again stops That Guy and with a bagel TB no less! He cannot be thanked enough!

One of the most amazing stats of the epic 5-set French Open final was that Sinner won 193 points and Alcaraz won 192. 385 points played and the loser wins a single point more than the winner. It’s representative of how close this match was. Alcaraz was literally millimeters away from losing the 4th.

Wow, @twilio.bsky.social (SendGrid) ditched its free plan with only 60 days notice and claims this is ample warning. It’s not when you maintain web apps in your free time. Anyway, I think I’ll move the non-profit web app I maintain over to SMTP2GO. Hopefully, it will stay free. 🙏

@podsaveamerica.crooked.com TY so much for “Why are Fundraising Texts SO annoying?”!!! I admit, I thought the whole texting nightmare was ActBlue’s fault, but now I know better. That said, a lot of people don’t, so I think it’s on ActBlue to solve this. Perception > reality. motivated

@maddow.msnbc.com Your segment on airplane incidents was riveting but left me wanting more. How does the rate of incidents since Trump 2 compare to normal? Is there evidence of a *causal* relationship between bad leadership and incidents?

San Diego #handsoff.

This literally cannot be done with JavaScript: Check whether a keyboard key has been pressed or released while the browser's right-click context menu is open. My app needs to keep track of key states, and I can't disable the browser context menu. What do you advise, @w3c.bsky.social?

Great post! To me, the type-safety drawback is not as significant as the "relying on strings that don't autocomplete and are not compile-time checked" drawback. But that's not a drawback of CSS variables per se, it's a drawback of CSS in general (class names and IDs suffer from the same problem).

The upgrades to `attr()` in Chrome 133 are a tiny light in dark times. www.bram.us/2025/01/20/c...

Regret regret regret! If you’re about to head off somewhere with a Windows laptop, do not do “update and shut down” on Windows. I’m 30 minutes in, and it’s still. not. done. The Windows update part is massive, and it also did a BIOS refresh at some point. I wish there had been a warning.

Thank you for this article, @adamrackis.bsky.social, especially this sentence 😂 "Like the real Jira, we won’t make any effort at making things look nice or be pleasant to use."

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a wine glass chandelier!

Guess where I am?

@biomejs.dev Is it a known issue that globs don't work on Windows/PowerShell, or am I doing something wrong?

Went to Costco yesterday (Black Friday) with my partner in the early afternoon. Thought I’d have to drop him off and look for parking 1/2 mile away… The parking lot was only 3/4 full. Nearby IKEA was also quiet. Is this the new normal?

Bluesky is starting to feel like pre-fubar'd Twitter. Not that I want to be tempted to while away hours scrolling social media, but it can't be a bad thing to have our community resurrected. Hope things continue in this direction!

Suggestion for you, @adamstac.bsky.social: how about putting some bluesky links for you and your team up on changelog.com?

@housecor.com, Really enjoyed meeting you at Connect! So much new React stuff to get my head around, but your talk really helped get the ball rolling for me. Would love to keep in touch. Drop me a line if you're in San Diego.

@gantlaborde.com, Great meeting you at Connect! Hope we can stay in touch. Drop me a line if you're in San Diego!

@selfteachme.bsky.social, I attended your JS Framework Cage Match talk at Connect. Just wanted to say huge props for pushing through even though you were not feeling well. I found your talk super valuable.

@seanmcquaidcode.bsky.social, great to meet you at Connect and enjoyed your talks! Would love to keep in touch. Please let me know if you find yourself in San Diego.

My reading for the evening. Trying to get caught up on what's new in CSS. developer.chrome.com/blog/whats-n...

Hey @tolin.ski, from recent episodes of Syntax, it sounds like you stopped using Arc browser? Just curious what ended the romance. (Feel free to use this for a potluck if you think a wider audience might be interested.)

@thebodyserve.bsky.social Nice to see you guys on here!

No matter how many improvements they make to CSS—and it really has improved by leaps and bounds—it’s still way too confusing. Case in point: on today’s @syntax.fm, Wes brought up the problem of “ghost spaces”. This should not be a thing!

Why isn’t Remix catching fire? I expected to see steady growth over the past couple years. It’s just not happening. (Not trolling here. I want Remix to succeed, and I’m genuinely curious why it’s not.) Source: https://npmtrends.com/remix

Was just unpleasantly reminded that in the bizarre world of JS, typeof null === “object” Oh well, bug solved.

Soon, we’ll be able to sort an array in JS without mutating it using arr.toSorted(). https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/toSorted Just waiting on Firefox and Samsung Mobile.

The best debugging strategy really is to walk away. You do have to wait until you get stuck first…but only the right amount stuck. Understand the problem and try sone things, but don’t bang your head against the wall for 6 hours. If you get it right, you’ll come back be like Ohhh!

I’m excited to be here even though I don’t know why yet 🤔
