Isaacman confirmed! There are predictably a lot poorly informed takes floating around, but this is good news for NASA.

The long wait for all Fallout S2 episodes to be released before I watch any of them begins.

Why is this front-page news, @cnn.com? There's an ACA fight in Congress, escalation with Venezuela, and high-stakes negotiations re: Ukraine, and THIS is what you consider the most important news? 🤦

UMD as one of the Vite library mode defaults is so weird.

This is like Pixar level
Saw this adorable French animation ad and I had to share it over here! The style looks familiar but I can’t my finger on what group it is. Any ideas?

I'm convinced Storybook is 95% made of duct tape. I'm constantly btw "this is brittle as hell and I shouldn't use it" and "I'm too lazy not to use it and it does some neat things".
Core problem, thru the ~6 versions I've used, is that it should be a framework, not a bundler. It sucks at bundling.

Isaacman's likely not very popular on here due to Elon connections. His stance is that NASA shouldn't waste its limited budget on bloated, ridiculously expensive, non-reusable rockets, so let's phase SLS out and give NASA contractors a new ambitious project: nuclear propulsion.
This is the way.
This is the way.

The Europeans have cards and are finally playing them. A very good backgrounder here:
The European Union has triggered Article 122 to indefinitely immobilise the assets of the Russian Central Bank, worth a whopping €210 billion.
I explain what just happened and why this is such a big deal for Europeans.
🧵 Long thread.

Remix 3 is the best thing to happen to RR. Fewer distractions and more focus now that the "big ideas" guys are off doing their own thing.
I've heard folks express concern about React Router since the Remix 3 announcement
Some variation of "is it on hold?"/"is it a secondary focus?"/"will it stop getting features?" etc
No, No, and No 😀
To back it up, I thought I'd put together a little "React Router Wrapped" for 2025 🎄

Some real Hitler-level shit from the Americans
An earlier version of the NSS specifically said that the US should try to pry Italy, Austria, Poland and Hungary away from the EU

Man, BE devs have it good with testing. Even with all of the amazing FE testing tools (RTL, Cypress/Playwright), there is always _some_ race condition or async quirk to deal with.
BE testing is easy mode. Request in, response out. A caveman could do it.

China is getting really close to first stage landing
...and the video you all are waiting for: birds-eye view of the ZQ-3 first stage's botched landing burn. It was *that* close you know, getting further than the first New Glenn booster did and around where SpaceX were for Falcon 9 in late 2014-early 2015!

Well, my hunch that Bun was too unstable/unpredictable and should be avoided served my well.
wild. not what anyone would have predicted as the endgame for a JS runtime
Bun is joining Anthropic
Bun has been acquired by Anthropic. Anthropic is betting on Bun as the infrastructure powering Claude Code, Claude Agent SDK, and future AI coding products & tools.

TanStack Router/Start docs **really** need to cover testing. Right now, no examples, barely any mention of testing of any kind.

Russia loses ability to launch humans into space. They'll probably repair this *eventually*, but never underestimate the ineptitude and corruption at every level at Roscosmos. Can't stress enough how much Russia is not the USSR, and their space program is not the Soviet space program.
⚡️Russia’s Roscosmos space agency reported on Nov. 27 that the launch pad at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan sustained damage during the Soyuz MS-28 liftoff to the International Space Station.
