Is there any indication when @rspack.dev/Rsbuild might get RSC support? Notably absent from rsc.krasimirtsonev.com, the React Router docs suggest either Vite or Parcel instead, and of course alternatively there's Next's Turbopack.

The broadly false promise of LLM productivity gains in software engineering reminds me of going deep on something like Vim. It feels more productive than it actually is.

Finally reading about React’s Activity API and it’s very promising. The docs do make me long for a stronger intuition for useEffect vs useLayoutEffect though.

My Thread network issues have largely resolved since enabling IGMP Snooping. Some people will tell you to do the opposite. 🤷

AirPods Pro 3 fit my ears much better, I can finally shake my head (or merely grin) without them falling out! YMMV.

Patiently waiting for pnpm support in tsgo… any day now…

iPhone Air with Apple’s networking chip has slightly worse Bluetooth range than my 15 Pro had, more like the M4 iPad Pro. Every morning I get up and go make a coffee on the other side of the house with ANC (espresso machines can be loud) so this is a pretty consistent test.

Did Apple’s operating systems always set beta to off in settings once a RC build goes stable? Don’t remember this convenience last year.

I’ve noticed quite starkly since I stopped using different wildcard emails everywhere that I’m being tracked across the internet. A search on one site on one device routinely leads to an ad somewhere else on another site for the same thing. This didn’t used to happen.

My favourite least favourite thing to write in commit messages: “for some reason”

With Android requiring verification even for side loading it’s clear that technolibertarianism is finally dead. We can either embrace a leftist solution in which we give power to the state, or that power will be left trillion dollar corps.

Many of us are stuck with GitHub but pine for change-based reviews (jj!) they're not going to implement while they chase the AI unicorn. Here's an idea: A UI layer, like Graphite, for review. This layer has a bot that tracks force pushes in a comment, so it can associate change-id headers. Viable?

PHP gets a pipe operator, meanwhile the JS proposal is stuck in committee hell. 💀

Liquid Glass is like a continuous microstim with its pretty refractions everywhere. Maybe a hot take but form for its own sake, and even to the mild detriment of function, has value too. This can also be applied for example to architecture.

It’d be funny if the thing that finally forces GitHub to improve its code review experience is Microsoft’s attempt to force gen AI into everything, which - ignoring its merits or lack thereof - increases the importance of code review for vibed code.

Impossible challenge: design a chess app with an intuitive castling interface.

Getting close to 1000 stars for the web accessibility principles 🙀 github.com/Heydon/princ...

@vertedin.de 👋 are you the right person to ask why both me and my colleague struggle so much with audio inputs on Slack on macOS? It doesn’t align with the OS and seems to have weird preferences when available inputs change. 😭 (sorry, just randomly came across your profile)

GitHub is ripe for disruption. CI is a mess of YAML and half-baked features (incl/ security), its runners are slow/expensive, review process and UI are poor, it doesn’t make any use of its social network, and it’s possibly the slowest site I routinely interact with.

I’ve nearly finished The Last of Us Part II, I’m now past where the show is. This series thrives on a) exploration and b) intimate dialogue between two characters over many hours. To my surprise in Part II my favourite act so far was with the tag-along Scar. Still missing Part I’s duo.

The most annoying thing about the United States is its acronym that I can't filter out of social feeds without lots of false positives.

Who else is constantly pasting patches from the clipboard and applying them in Git only for it to fail because it's missing a trailing newline that some software probably on the web somewhere stripped out? Only me? 😩

I’m onto The Last of Us Part II now. Part I on the whole was a masterpiece. Part II so far better than the show…

Makes you appreciate how stagnant GitHub is.

Disappointment over season 2 has finally got me playing The Last of Us Part I. This game is so freaking good. And boy does it look nice on the PS5 Pro on a 4K OLED 🤭

I’m pretty critical of generative AI, but I maintain that it’s not useless. It probably saved me a solid day on some maths-related programming today, though I had to know how to sidestep its hallucinations. It’s also a pretty good rubber duck.

I learned some recursion schemes to improve the implementation of a linter a few years ago and looking at the code now, having not written much Haskell for a while, it looks so alien. Also completely forgotten what cofree means. But I remember finding it so elegant. github.com/unsplash/int...

jj log --reversed is giving me the same feeling as vertigo, that's so weird!

Always fun to receive a GitHub notification for something I subscribed to a decade and about five tech stacks ago with no context as to why I thought it was important. Even worse when it's more recent and it's still not obvious what the relevance is.

I'm so done writing Bash (or POSIX) scripts, it's exhausting for anything remotely nontrivial. I've settled on Fish for something today - its argparse is pretty good - but I'm still not totally satisfied. Why aren't there functional options for lists for example? And it's 1-based indexing 😱

Tidied up my Jujutsu aliases in my dotfiles yesterday. In particular the commit trailer aliases now support revsets at -r, and variadic value input, which pairs great with fzf -m. There’s also support in that coauthor alias for fzf args like -f for quick selection.

How is one supposed to approach tooltips on the modern web (at least Baseline newly available) w/o JS? Thinking of things like avoiding viewport overflow dynamically in the fact of wildly varying localised strings.

⚛️📝 New on Overreacted: Functional HTML

Hacker News is basically just AI marketing at this point. Lobsters is still pretty good; a little quiet but if Reddit taught me anything it’s that scale in forums is usually a bad thing.

I know when Bluesky has run out of content to show me from my follows in Discover when I start getting lots of pictures of cats and what appear to be horny extraterrestrials.

New blog post on serializing promises in React. Learn how RSC serializes data between the server and client. twofoldframework.com/blog/you-can...

Now that I’m talking about dev stuff on here as well, let me just say that Jujutsu VCS is wonderful. That is all.

After using Mastodon and Bluesky side-by-side for a little while I’ve decided to stick with Bluesky for now. My account is bridged.

Put Game Pass on PS5 and Steam already, cmon.

AI continues to creep into spaces where it's not wanted, most recently WhatsApp. I go there to talk to family and friends (because of network effects). Why the fuck is there a massive AI button in the corner? I can't wait for this hype cycle to die. Almost as annoying as crypto and web3.

Got the 10G gateway installed, speed test successfully bumped from 2.3Gb to 3.2Gb. Seems like my 3Gb plan is slightly overprovisioned 😊

Unpopular opinion: I have never once in my life seen a photo or video in black and white and thought it looked better in any sense than if it were in colour. At this point it actively annoys me. You can play with colour grading to evoke something, sure, but removing colour entirely is so dull 🥱

Installed a directional UniFi AP outside to replace the old AP at the end of the garden that’s wired at FE. Seeing 5x performance on 5GHz (~500Mbps), hopeful 6GHz will be available outdoors at some point as it’s not a large distance and it has line of sight.

This feels like tuning in for WWDC. Except I’m hopeful I won’t have to hear the word “AI” from Nintendo.

I don’t get why Amex has FX fees. It leaves me evaluating the rest of the market for and using a second card in perpetuity. Similar problem with @monzo.com not having (universal) cashback and, more importantly, not supporting joint/supplementary cards.

@tkdodo.eu Would you mind following @ap.brid.gy so I can follow you on Mastodon where all my other dev follows are? 🙏

I got rid of my home server this week after replacing the last of my non-Hue Zigbee devices with Matter alternatives. I don’t have the energy for managing a custom anything outside of work any more, and that time is better spent with family. 😊

For some reason the woods in London have lots of parrots. This picture is from Queen’s Wood.

Finished Silent Hill 2, got the Leave ending (went in blind). I knew going to check on Maria in the hospital was a good idea 😄
