A new Veritasium video with clear and detailed explanation of the most dangerous supply-chain attack. The one that almost compromised all Linux servers. But everyone was saved by a hero who noticed that the backdoored SSH had slowed down by 100 ms. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoag...

Not only Arabs and Jews write from right to left. The “Hungarian runes” are also written from right to left. They even have uppercase and lowercase letter forms (which is quite a rare feature outside the Latin and Cyrillic scripts). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Hun...

All this 20th-century abstract art is being used very actively and utilitarily in UI today. ​Macintosh 1984 vs Picasso 1964

Meet Andrey (@en.sitnik.es ), our frontend principal and the creator of PostCSS. He was our first hire ever and has been a Martian for 15 years. Andrey is based in Barcelona, is a loving father, and is always down to meet up with martians IRL. Check him out: evilmartians.com/martians/and...

Do the stars really better reflect the usage of a package?

Breaking: China's official statistics report a 0.3% drop in CO2 emissions from energy&industry in 2025, the third time that annual emissions have fallen this century and the first fall predominantly driven by clean energy growth. 🧵

Bit of trivia regarding the trend of more US Americans moving abroad: we now have more Americans living in Norway than Norwegians living in the US. 🇺🇸 ➡️🇳🇴

“if you won’t let us use your product to spy on Americans and kill without supervision we will single-handedly destroy your business by fiat” is the single most authoritarian anti-business action I can ever remember any administration taking

JSR now lets you diff the generated documentation between released versions of a package, making it easy and clear what has changed in a visual manner! Example: jsr.io/@david/gagen...

I am quite honestly impressed that Anthropic declined Trump’s demand. The first time ya gotta hand it to an AI company

Enthusiasts are still building custom firmware for classic HP48 engineering calculators. But the creator of DB48X says new age-verification laws in California (2027) and Colorado (2028) will ban users there, since the calculator OS simply cannot verify anyone’s age. github.com/c3d/db48x/co...

Just take a look at the awesome personal pages we’ve created for developers/designers on @evilmartians.com. My profile is ready too. evilmartians.com/martians/and... evilmartians.com/martians/art... evilmartians.com/martians/ale... evilmartians.com/martians/ant... evilmartians.com/martians/gle...

PostCSS powers 0.5% of ALL web pages but only earned $300/month for 13 years. This story is not unique. Your app likely has 550+ OSS dependencies. Most are one burned-out maintainer away from disaster. This is the Nebraska problem. And here is the fix: evilmartians.com/chronicles/s...

Tickets for Local-First Conf 2026 are now on sale July 12–14 · Berlin · 300 people · single track Theme: user empowerment in an age of fluid software. We're going beyond CRDTs and sync. If you're building for user agency, this is your conference. Tickets live now → localfirstconf.com

You’re still hand-writing API types in 2026? Your OpenAPI spec can generate TypeScript types, API clients, Zod schemas, and network-level mocks — so you ship features before backend deploys anything. Yuri Mikhin walks through the full setup with Hey API, Nanostores, and MSW.

Trusted Types is a really powerful API against XSS. web.dev/articles/tru... It forbids assigning a string to Node#innerHTML. Instead, you need to create a policy (and register its name in the Content-Security-Policy header) and process the string through it. github.com/hplush/slowr...

Tholmad is a very unique writing system for the constructed language Vorgath. The script is inspired by the seals of demons from the real medieval grimoire Ars Goetia (PostCSS version logos are based on these seals). www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBt9...

SCP is what happens when horror becomes part of bureaucracy. And then there’s Mystery Flesh Pit — a story about what happens when horror becomes part of capitalism, complete with theme parks and resource extraction. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery...

In Spain (province of Cádiz), there was a local tradition of fully covered women, “cobijada”. The woman was completely wrapped in black, with only one eye visible through the fabric. This tradition is not related to the Islamic burqa and emerged independently. es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobijada

Each year, according to its own data, Australia's National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) invests about six times more money into women's health research than men's health research. The staff at NHMRC is 70% female.

Just found out that Gandi (which used to be the best domain company) was acquired by a shady company that jacked up prices. Now I’m looking for a good domain provider with .es domains, hardware security key 2FA, and based in Europe (most likely Netim).

There’s a long-standing idea that implicit throw/catch isn’t as practical as it seems, and errors should be returned explicitly (as in Go). For TypeScript, a proposal suggests returning either a value or an error so the type system enforces handling. errore.org

Chrome is introducing a new mechanism to prevent session cookie theft. The cookie is short-lived and must be renewed using a key stored in the device’s TPM. Even if someone extracts it, they won’t be able to reuse it. developer.chrome.com/docs/web-pla...

PostCSS creator, @en.sitnik.ru, shares how to make your open source popular. He also destroys the false idea that writing open source will make you famous, or that you should write open source to show your expertise. Plus, he explains how to avoid burnout when maintaining your products.

Took this route recently for a side project (hetzner+coolify) instead of vercel and been pretty happy.

Vercel-like hosting is bad because as your project grows, the price grows exponentially. AWS and Google Cloud have terrible DX and UI. Seems like, the best option is to rent a VPS and install an open-source Vercel alternative (Coolify or Dokploy). blog.logrocket.com/dokploy-vs-c...

In Barcelona, a local supercomputing center (which has a supercomputer housed in a former church) has designed new processors built on Intel 3 and based on the open RISC-V architecture. bzl.es/test-chip-1/

First three acts of the 2026 Chinese New Year’s gala: 1. A comedic sketch featuring robots 2. Robots perform wushu 3. A song about China’s AI breakthroughs with dancing robots Looks like the Communist Party accepted having one of the lowest birth rates and replace the population with robots.

A video about treatments for male pattern baldness does a surprisingly good job capturing what men feel when they’re going through it. This is what body positivity should look like once progressive movement stop ignoring men’s issues. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCkz...

Snow cannons at ski resorts rely on the discovery of the bacterium Pseudomonas syringae. It has a protein that’s an excellent ice-nucleation site, which makes water freeze at higher air temperatures. The bacterium uses ice to weaken the plant so it can infect it later.

Republicans in Mississippi passed a law that’s even worse than the UK’s Online Safety Act: it requires all users to verify their age to use social media. Only Bluesky and Mastodon have spoken out against it publicly. Musk and Durov are staying silent. bsky.social/about/blog/0...

I am very happy to receive such nice compliment to my @friday.sitnik.ru in Mastodon

I added Claude Code to the @zed.dev UI via the ACP protocol (you can integrate many agents this way). It’s much easier to read than a monospaced console, and reviewing diffs directly in the editor. Also, I add a GNOME extension that shows usage limits.

This is a bit sad: @aella.bsky.social, who writes brilliantly about science and sex, says she’s doing better sex research as an outsider enthusiast than universities. Most studies survey only ~400 people (for comparison, she surveyed 900K). aella.substack.com/p/me-vs-the-...
