📝 I'm a curmudgeon for doing menu items without icons (unless you can give a good reason to include them).
And apparently Apple used to recommend the opposite of what they now do in Tahoe.

I frequently hear people say they don’t need to support older browsers because ‘everything auto-updates now’.

While I'm not quite at the point of losing my house, the harm ai has done to my animation work income is huge, like 80% gone and it makes me wonder how many freelance artists and animators ARE losing everything while billionaire con men continue to rake it in.

Congratulations to Google on making a shitty thing worse.
Google starts rolling out ads in AI mode; the ads look similar to the citations in AI answers but with a "sponsored" label (Mayank Parmar/BleepingComputer)

Essentials
My toxic trait is that I believe access to the things you literally need to survive (food, clothes, shelter, healthcare) should be free.
I know, I know…
If people didn’t have to work to survive, why ...

#rustlang hot take: We should rename .unwrap() to .or_panic(). (And .expect() to .or_panic_with().) "Unwrap" is a terrible name for the panicking function, especially since we also have things like .unwrap_or() and .unwrap_or_default() which never panic.

I still can't believe that a one-person package manager is doing better than npm CLI, owned by a corporate, where the resources of the two projects are incomparable.

I watch a lot of open source projects’ issues on GitHub.
On a regular occurrence, maintainers are politely asking “could you please disclose if you used LLM to generate this PR”.
This is the polite and exhausting way to say “this looks like incomprehensible bullshit, why are you wasting our time?”

We have reworked the @biomejs.dev architecture as generic as possible, so now these frameworks are supported. The new architecture will unlock:
- Angular
- Embedded formatting in JS files e.g. CSS-in-JS
- Cross boundaries lint rules
It will take a bit, but the basic bricks are there. Enjoy!
