Feels like a solution in search of a problem. Caching is interesting as it always is but I don’t see how this is fundamentally different to Vite with turborepo, nx, etc.

But ease of use is of course compared to Vite, “a Vite superset”. But if you have performance problems with webpack or older tooling you need to migrate to Vite anyway to use Vite+. At which point most of your problems have probably already been solved.

The performance benefits are mostly moot, they come from the wrapped tooling so that isn’t a gain over plain vite etc. the speeds up are obviously compared to webpack (this is basically a meme at this point).

But regardless if that I’m confused by this business model. Single config always sounds nice until you hit the edges, but then you have to hack things together. This is always harder with a tool that claims to solve everything under one roof.

I just spent 4 hours having my mind expanded with an ATProto OAuth shaped crowbar thanks to the inimitable @ngerakines.me

I have a very tiny brain but after I have gone over the content some more I am excited to play!

The information isn’t restricted. It is here and free to access, doesn’t require an account to view and for those wishing to engage, bluesky accounts are free.

Well, I’d be surprised if the original graph was correct in general tbh.

That is testament to the culture that the rust folks have built over the years and stands as a proof of the hard work that has been put in.

The results are legit in the context of the survey, but I’d argue the original graph title is a touch misleading. Surveys usually represent only a tiny minority of users.

What it does show is equally impressive though. That the most engaged part of the base identify this way.

There should be an option to use one of your new stamps.

We are switching to trusted publishing on the gradio repo but with 68 npm packages and no API/ scope-level connections, i decide to write a playwright script to take care of it:

The process is a two parter:

- login (user/pass + 2fa) and save the session state to disk
- run the script using the saved sessions state

Had an issue with cloudflare's bot detection a little but after I clicked through a few times it seems to let me through (although it got suspicious every time).

Looks really useful! What is the accessibility story for this feature?

Thank you!n It's even cooler than i first thought! bsky.app/profile/pngw...

What's really cool is the CSS Highlight API is based around Range objects. These are really powerful primitives because they can capture a series of DOM elements or even parts of a text node. And you can access positional information of those ranges, enabling stuff like this.

I would expect the dick in question to defend their poor behaviour. Anything else would be a disappointment.

Only typescript / js based ones, JSON schema is more portable so when working across languages is often preferred. So I’m not sure Standard Schema is more widely understood in reality, most users are silent.

It is still more surface area. Asymmetric marchers are agnostic, even if I don’t think people should use them. And why zod, why not another validation library? I do not and cannot use zod at work because it is JS only. Why not a JSON schema focused lib instead?

pngwn @pngwn.at · Sep 9

Yeah that’s fair I guess. I don’t generally agree with asymmetric marchers either in general.

pngwn @pngwn.at · Sep 9

Could be useful for property based testing but still don’t think it enables anything that isn’t already possible.
