Needed to listen separately to the input and change events on the inputs in Preact. Everything worked perfectly.
Imported useSyncExternalStore from preact/compat. Now onChange subscribes to the input event.
Yes, it's described in the documentation. But how weird it is...

Made a tiny presentation engine with Bun and Preact.
It's absolutely secure. Your slides are not stored anywhere. Not on servers, not in files.
If you find any bugs (and there are some), send a PR.

Decided to try designing shoe patterns using the British method instead of the Italian one.
Damn imperial measurements! I fucking hate inches!

The CSS Anchor Positioning Module is exactly what we've been needing.
How long do you think we'll have to wait until we can use it widely?
And it's worth keeping in mind that it's quite useless without the support of the anchor-scope property, which for some reason almost no one talks about.

Cursor 2.0 is absolutely amazing. It's the best way I've seen to get people to spend more tokens and pay more money.

When I was making my previous sneakers, I experimented with a soft heel counter and found it incredibly convenient for quickly putting them on and taking them off.
I thought I'd invented something brilliant, but then I discovered Gucci uses this same solution in their loafers.

I don't understand how people change jobs every year or two. The best "I told you so" situations often take three to five years from the moment they were said.

The React compiler is a hack to fix problems that didn't exist before hooks.

Hello, friends! After 10(!) years of #AdventOfCode, I've made some changes to preserve my sanity: there will be 12 days of puzzles each December (still starting Dec 1) and there is no longer a global leaderboard. Read more:

So, should we avoid TanStack like a new Next.js?

What a great idea to make a browser-compatible Web Storage API in Node.js (v25.0.0).
You can finally write code that, depending on the context, will work either with private storage in the browser or with shared storage on the server.
What could possibly go wrong? It's completely safe!

What I'm really looking forward to from Bun is a built-in Framework. And I hope there will be Preact support as well.

That's why I prefer simple and predictable solutions over convenient magic.

Finally got a new set of stitching chisels. Interchangeable adapters with six different step sizes (3–6 mm). Five hole types.
I'm a little concerned about the rigidity. I usually prefer solid chisels.

Next month will mark a year since I bought a huge (seriously, you wouldn’t believe how heavy) ThinkPad, after a decade of MacBooks I had grown tired of. Still don’t regret.

Seven months ago, I planted a couple of plants (pomegranate and rosemary) in my 3D-printed air-pruning pots, which I created 3dpot.net for.
I finally checked on them. They're doing surprisingly well. The pots are working.

I used to be surprised that people preferred MongoDB for their MVPs (and not just MVPs) just because it's easy to use and doesn't require thinking about schema.
Now I'm surprised that people prefer PostgreSQL for the same purposes just because there is Supabase.
