JPEG XL has arrived on the web, but how does it stack up against AVIF? jakearchibald.com/2026/jpeg-xl...

The Sexy Brutale - 5/10 was enticed by the time loop and investigation premise but was let down by the execution and simplicity of the gameplay every puzzle being separate and the incredibly large amount of annoying little details really let the game down for me

Loddlenaut - 6/10 very short but satisfying cleaning and animal caretaking game i feel the game failed to make me care for the loddles and planet. that + the length (5.5 hours) left me not caring about the planet as i left it, but that complaint comes from an unfair comparison with subnautica.

Citizen Sleeper - 7/10 interesting world and characters to meet and help. :) a few of the interactions felt odd for me, where it's implied you spend a lot of time in one place which was not reflected in the gameplay for me. i also had an odd bug that made the entire station vibrate slightly.

don't be nice.

The Alters - 8/10 fun base management combined with interesting characters and difficult decisions. fantastic visual effects.

Changesets v3 is here! 🦋 After months of chipping away at issues alongside @bluwy.me, @haglund.dev, and many other contributors, we’re excited to finally share it. changesets.dev/blog/announc...

another day, another "enterprise outreach" scam email...

Porffor officially goes alpha on August 11th with an in-person in San Francisco! It brings self-hosting and a complete rewrite, plus more: honk.foo/porffor-alpha/

Sketching some ideas for a unified http server api (supporting h1, h2, and h3, webtransport, websockets, extended connect, multi-runtime, etc) ... www.jasnell.me/posts/http-s...

While the new `git history fixup` command is nice for enabling a jj-like workflow, it also seems to have a bunch of annoying issues... - commits aren't signed: it ignores `commit.gpgSign = true` and doesn't have a `--gpg-sign` flag - it does not execute `pre-commit` hooks

Fetch is not enough... a blog post on server-side HTTP API standardization www.jasnell.me/posts/fetch-...

Porffor is now self-hosted, meaning it compiles itself with itself! This is made possible by Porffor's new rewrite, reducing its lines of code by >50% and making C output up to 5x more efficient! Here you can see the stats before and after the rewrite for Porffor itself:

not only is Esoteric Ebb now one of my favorite games, but it also showed me Averia Serif Libre, my new favorite font thanks @chrisbodegard.bsky.social!

🦀 I did a thing... what do you think? github.com/rust-lang/cr... #rustlang

You now do not need the Changesets bot for automatic PR comments. Use GitHub Actions instead! With two new sub-actions: - `changesets/action/pr-status` - `changesets/action/pr-comment` Set up a workflow like below to automate it yourself. Or check out the action docs: github.com/changesets/a...

We’ve been working on a new site for Changesets with a lot of new docs! If changesets has been confusing before, hopefully some of these will help, or let us know what else could be improved. Check it out 👉 changesets.dev

my god he is the littlest fluffy olive guy i love him

#tc39 first class protocols proposal is fascinating. very rust-y, traits like. really getting back to what made js so so damned good, return to a powerful complex prototypal inheritance. seemingly a ton of momentum/contributirs. new to me but instant fast follow. github.com/tc39/proposa...

it is infuriating that agentic development is finally forcing people who lack empathy to take documentation seriously because the pain new contributors feel is just now impacting them for the very first time, but let’s take the w and refuse to surface info exclusively for agents

demanding deletion, warning about "misuse," threatening credibility damage, that is gatekeeping dressed up as quality control. It shuts down any kind of transparent, iterative sharing that actually builds healthy communities. I appreciate how much the e18e folks try to collaborate with Tim here

Hey! Hi! Hello! Our Kickstarter is... (drumroll, if you please) LIVE! You can find it riiiiight here: kickstarter.dotmeow.org But what IS .meow? Well! Let us explain... with video!

Hey, hi, hello! Our website is now live! If you want to get an idea of what the .meow Foundation is all about, what our mission statement is or you just want to look at pictures of the beautiful people involved, you can do so at dotmeow.org/en/what/ Go give it a look!!

Anti-fascistic software is made possible by pro-labor licensing. I've been trying to write this piece for years. Every time I get started I'm just overwhelmed with paralyzing visions of the FOSS commentariat accusing me of WrongThink. But I'm tired and we urgently need to get our shit together.

I would put more money on continuing to harvest infinite energy from the sun over assuming that forcing everyone to use The Machine The Lies To You is the steady basis of an entire economy

Oof. blogs.gnome.org/alatiera/202...

show this to anyone else you know who also assumed DHH was just a normal conservative dude rather than a raging white supremacist lunatic

DHH is the biggest reason why I don't use Rails anymore. This post (and especially the linked talk) get to the heart of hte problem. davidcel.is/articles/rai...

The React team once again lacking communication with the community. I'm suggesting some help to avoid bloat in the dependencies of the ESLint plugin v6, starting with a dead simple PR, no answer in 3 weeks... github.com/facebook/rea...

New post on big general type-checker improvements. How `specification.md` can be used to test both features and performance. And perhaps what is up for version 0.1.0...

Mecha Hitler said a few unsavory things about Jews, women, minorities, and called for the subjugation of anyone who wasn’t a straight white Christian man, but it’s important to remember he argued with civility.

@xpaw.me Do you know if there's an API somewhere to fetch a game's images used in the new Steam Library?

My ahead-of-time JS engine Porffor eliminates JS cold starts on AWS Lambda. 12x faster and 2x cheaper than managed Node. Still very early but these results should speak for themselves :) goose.icu/lambda/

just a reminder that you can sponsor @e18e.dev on OpenCollective. these funds will go towards the people contributing in this space, and events to knowledge share this stuff. big thanks to people who already sponsored. every little counts

I encounter this argument a lot: "removing pkg A is pointless, it'll exist throughout your dep graph" Today I removed chalk & it no longer exists in my graph anywhere. Same for glob libs The community has done such great work deeply migrating and modernising whole stacks 🩵

Today we are excited to announce Rolldown-Vite: a technical preview of the version of @vite.dev entirely powered by the Rust stack we built over the past year (Oxc + @rolldown.rs) voidzero.dev/posts/announ...

Just updated my Summer Game Fest Schedule website to the 2025 schedule! I originally created it because the official website is ungodly slow and doesn't communicate when events start very well. My version automatically shows the days and start times based on the user's timezone!

had a thought about why people outside the tech world (artists, journalists, etc) are quicker to perceive gen AI output as bullshit even though they are generally less deeply familiar with how they work: in most domains, generative models are only trained on the _output_

a few people have been asking me why i forked the unicorn lint plugin, and some not-as-friendly people unfortunately have been telling me i haven't done anything other than "replace a couple of dependencies" so here's just some stuff i got upto on the fork 🧵

New blog post about Nova #JavaScript engine's NLnet NGI Zero grant and what @aapoalas.trynova.dev has been up to with that support! #Rustlang autoborrow traits also mentioned!

tiny lil things

Published empathic@1.1 🎉 (benchmarks below) Many packages are eagerly joining the @e18e.dev effort but (understandably) have existing support restrictions to maintain & so can't make as much progress as they'd like. This release helps with that~! (cont.)

Really grateful to be a part of Minecraft music. The Minecraft Movie is currently the #1 film in the world and my EP is going to hit 1 million streams within the first 2 weeks! Christian Seung - viola David Tangney - cello available on youtube & all streaming platforms. youtu.be/xLo-BrCh7JQ?...

ECMAScript excitement 😉 TypeScript's @chronicles.org is pitching enum in JS 🎉 It's the good parts of TS enum + enhancements: 🔶 More datatypes: Symbols etc 🔶 Iterable 🔶 Immutable 🔶 Null prototype 🔶 No declaration merging 🔶 Compatible with Node type-stripping 👍 github.com/rbuckton/pro...

@joyeecheung.bsky.social Is there any way to generate a compile cache with node without executing the files? I can see it being useful in various places like docker containers and lambda functions

a few words that I think are important to say on diversity, equity and inclusion in open source (and more generally) much love ❤️ roe.dev/blog/diversity
