So we found another performance regression in V8... specifically in the code for WriteUtf8V2 (the code to write a string out as UTF8)... the fix is in... and get this... it results in a 4000%+ performance increase in one of the benchmarks. Not a typo... 4000% improvement.

All build tools are equally evil and terrible.

Look some actual heroes standing up to some masked Nazi asshole idiots pretending to be law enforcement.

@rafaelgss.dev any chance y'all could update the v8docs.nodesource.com to include 25.x? Pretty please :-)

Hell yes, Pittsburgh. Love Yinz. No Kings.

So proud of my city. No Kings, Chicago!

Yet again United Airlines lets me down. Ugh.

Unfortunately History is repeating itself

FDJT.

When MTG becomes the sole voice of reason on the Republican side, you know they've swan dived completely into Looney Land.

Oh, ha, I've been so distracted by jsconf this week I missed that we finally released Sandboxes! Containers on the edge, controllable via Workers. Full Linux environment, capable of running node.js, deno, bun, anything you need really. share.google/Bj7OSMh94AM2...

One step closer to enabling pointer compression by default in node.js thanks to @cloudflare.social and @igalia.com github.com/nodejs/node/...

Congratulations to our Node.js community recipients 💚

I'm excited about net in permissions!

Those benchmarks from @t3.gg revealed some interesting issues in Workers. Happy to say it's all fixed now, save for some lingering next.js-specific stuff we're continuing to work on. Thanks for the reproducible test cases, @t3.gg. Excessive details in blog post: blog.cloudflare.com/unpacking-cl...

We worked on a thing. blog.cloudflare.com/unpacking-cl...

I feel seen.

🚀 BIG NEWS: We just shipped @platformatic/python - run Python ASGI apps INSIDE your Node.js process! This changes everything for AI/ML + Node.js apps 🧵 youtu.be/8eAAP9IF4xA

I once again find myself wishing JavaScript had a native BitField that was ArrayBuffer backed. e.g. const bf = new BitField(10); backed by a two byte ArrayBuffer. bf[0] = true bf[1] = false // Etc bf.buffer; // the underlying ArrayBuffer Really just a special form of TypedArray...

Bluesky runs on open protocols with open source code. Today we’re taking an additional step and making a patent non-aggression pledge to ensure that everyone can build confidently on our work. Learn more and read the pledge in our blog post: bsky.social/about/blog/1...

They aren't heroes if they won't defend the Constitution and the people against what he and his white supremacist cronies are trying to do.

A propos of nothing, it's a completely reasonable thing to not use a company's products, services, and OSS, when their CEO openly supports (and takes selfies with) a world leader who the UN says is currently committing genocide.

It took a couple years for her to build up confidence, but our German shepherd now just casually drops her ball into the water at one side of the pool, runs around the other side, jumps in and swims out to get it. Just entertaining herself. It's not even 8am here yet and she's already at it again.

ICE isn't law enforcement. They are state sponsored terrorists.

Sometime in the past couple of days nodejs/node crossed the 60,000 issues/PRs mark.

It's great to see things shifting back to the principles we were promoting through the mid 2000s while working on RSS, Atom, Activity Streams, and ironically OpenSocial. Those efforts ended up being short circuited by Twitter and Facebook competing to own the walled gardens. We've come full circle.

WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status. He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

Don't forget it'll also make your dogs gay and and something something also about a broken escalator.

As one of the tech workers from the US.... I'd say this ranks right up there with the stupidest policy decisions ever... Except for literally every other single policy decision this Dumbass Regime has made.

So very excited to share this news

Can someone please go back in time and stop Biff... err I mean Donny... from getting the sports almanac from the future?

Did you know there are now 5 full time @cloudflare.social employees actively contributing to Node.js? (Plus a summer intern).

Ah, the joys of the fall. Every September 1st is the start of dove hunting season in California. So starting every September 1st, every morning for a few weeks we get to listen to the sounds of shotguns going off for about an hour and a half... Every. Day. The dogs aren't fans.

Well deserved, I'd say.

ICE is not law enforcement. They are a state-sponsored human trafficking and extortion racket.

After several months of work, the node:fs APIs in Cloudflare workers are finally ready to ship

ICE Is not law enforcement. ICE is inhumane scum.
