JavaScript's date object has been tricky for years, but that is changing.

The NEW Temporal API brings,
🌍 Easily handle time zones
📆 Precise date math
🕒 Parse ISO strings without errors
⌛ Durations, date ranges, and more.

Start experimenting 👇

The Temporal object enables date and time management in various scenarios, including built-in time zone and calendar representation, wall-clock time conversions, arithmetics, formatting, and more. It is designed as a full replacement for the Date object.

Amos is a force of nature, and this article just made me smile throughout.

Hoarding private syntax grammars made me imagine him as a connoisseur, browsing through shelves of printed grammars in LP-like sleeves.

Brilliant.
Made a site comparing the sizes of living things :)

Don’t know what happened. But I don’t game anymore, not even on my phone to pass the time. I don’t take the time, don’t play with anyone.

Not sure why that is. But I don’t like it.

I dream of making my own electronics lab at home. I feel like this is a hobby that would go well with graying hairs and isn’t another white dude picking up wood working. Incidentally, I could finally justify all the purchases I want to make for gear.

Even with good git usage, you still end up on occasion having to wrangle your way out of a lot of mess.

Small, contained PRs for the win.
Atomic commits for the epic win.

To the engineers out there who don’t care about your commit messages, I don’t understand how you do it?

Oh yes. Back at it today - feeling really good. Healthy, rested and motivated.

Games, home computer, dial-up, building your own PC and LAN-parties were staples of my childhood.

But I was never one of those kids that knew that this was going to be my field of study and a career. That came much later. Unfortunately.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

This brightened up my day.

Love a good bug hunt.
Recent discussion about the perils of doors in gamedev reminded me of a bug caused by a door in a game you may have heard of called "Half Life 2".

I wrote it up over on Mastodon (I find it's better at long threads):

I know I’m a massive fan boy and can’t shut up about @oxide.computer buuuut, you should really, really watch this talk by Bryan.

It’s tremendous.

To all the single parents out there - I don’t understand how you do it. You’re legends.

That is all.

Wow. I knew saving this for Friday evening was worth it. What a bug, what a debugging journey - what an episode!

Even as a Rust amateur - at best, I found this riveting.

Bravo @oxide.computer (and friends!)

An open letter to junior devs, medior,- hell let’s just say all devs:

By the grace of the Silicone gods - please don’t make hacks and just leave them lying around for other people to find. I get it, sometimes you’ve gotta crunch - but man am I tired of taking landmines to the face.

ECMAScript excitement 😉

Congrats to @manishearth.bsky.social on unflagging TC39 Stage 3 Temporal in V8 today. Heading for Chrome 144 🎉

By many metrics this new date-time API is the single biggest change to JS ever 🔥

V8 uses Boa's temporal_rs by @jason-williams.co.uk Kevin Ness & Manish 👍

"Developers" posting "tips and tricks" on LinkedIn nowadays is so, so atrociously bad.

Confession:

I’m too scared to watch Father. I saw the trailer with the great sir Anthony Hopkins (a favorite actor of mine) and I immediately knew I had to see it but simultaneously that it would have to be after a lot of mental preparation.

Dementia is a strong fear of mine.
