SquiggleConf 2025 was an absolute, incredible blast. We had a wonderful time learning with you all. A HUGE "thank you!" to all our attendees, speakers, sponsors, and volunteers for making this a wonderful experience. We can't wait to see you in Spring 2027. 💙

I emailed British Airways asking for an invoice for the wifi, and they sent me an email saying "we verified our system and indeed there was a problem with the wifi, sorry about that, you'll get a refund within 28 days" 👀

The unpaired socks drawer in my closet has more socks than the socks one 😭

"Trump let me suck your dick"

some thoughts about the bloat introduced by edge-case first libraries

Maps on my watch insists on using American units instead of reasonable units. It uses both base-10 fractions of a mile, and yards???

It’s conference season, and Igalians will be delivering eighteen talks this month across eight different events! www.igalia.com/2025/09/04/S...

Interrail passes are at a 20% discount until September 9th — it might be a good Christmas gift for somebody :) www.interrail.eu/en/interrail...

Friendly reminder that I will be at @squiggleconf.com in a couple weeks, talking about source maps. Come say hi! :)

The adrenaline rush of knowing that I need to do something for the past month and a half, but only deciding to actually do it 55 minutes before the deadline 😙🤌

I just remembered I have a 🥵🍆@💌.kz email address (which unfortunately I can only use to receive and not to send) to have an excuse to complain about overly restrictive email validation.

My boyfriend is 40 minutes late with giving my dog the 7pm treat, my dog is now explicitly and loudly asking him for it, and he doesn't consider it an important enough emergency to drop the meeting he's in???

Apparently after that Russia was expelled from Eurovision they decided to recreate their own international alternative song contest. The list of countries that are participating in the first edition (in a month) is... interesting. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intervi...

teaser for programmers

Wishing we had CSS _content_ queries, where I can query the size of a child element...

My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area. (15 in Manhattan btw)

Did anybody successfully potty train a chicken?

The US tariffs on pharmaceutical products are funny because it's not like the US has a problem of prices being driven down due to cheap foreign medicines

Building a little graph rendering library for my train travel log app, and oh rendering graph is difficult

Can I do this in CSS? "When I hover over an element with a data-foo attribute, make all the elements that have data-foo _set to the same value_ red" where the values of data-foo are arbitrary

There is a typo in the English version of the EU common form for train compensation requests (europa.eu/youreurope/c...), which in section 4 says "rrecurrent" instead of "recurrent". Anybody knows how to get it fixed? Maybe @ec.europa.eu?

50 days to go till SquiggleConf 2025! 5️⃣0️⃣

ECMAScript excitement 😉 Congrats to @bakkot.com on advancing UInt8Array ↔️ Base64/Hex to Stage 4 at TC39 this week 🎉 UInt8Array.prototype. toBase64 toHex UInt8Array. fromBase64 fromHex It lets you convert directly between binary data and Base64/Hex strings 👍

After moving to a country where ice cream is generally bad and super expensive... We finally got an ice cream machine! (raspberries :))

Terrible day for French trains (and obviously, I always end up traveling on the worst days possible)

So... now that npm is causing left-pad problems by itself, what is the solution?

Nice article pvigier.github.io/2019/05/06/c...

I got 16/28 questions (wrong)!

The 129th Ecma GA in Geneva on 25th June approved new recognition awards to people for their contributions and services. We at Igalia would like to congratulate our friends and collaborators @robpalmer.bsky.social and Michael Saboff for being awarded and thank them for their diligent work in TC39.

Wishing for an "or if" statement... if (A) { // do this when A is true } or if (B) { // do this when A or B is true }

Today I called them asking to please send me the PDF ticket or at lest a receipt for the payment (I never received the original ticket by email, guess why), because when I try to download the PDF from the website it errors saying that the PDF was not generated. This is what they sent me lol

🤬🤬🤬 almost missed a train because I used a fucking email with a + in it to book the ticket, and the tickets person I spoke to "didn't have the authority to override the system error on my ticket and let me on the train"

Some random guy on the street stopped me to tell me they liked my earrings, maximum confidence boost 🚀

I'm SHOCKED. Tomorrow I'll travel from Paris to Italy, the train is cancelled, the app doesn't show it as cancelled, so I called SNCF. They told me that I can book alternative transport and then submit a claim!?? Without me having to fight for hours for them to apply the law???

Today marks the first illegal Budapest Pride march 🏳️‍🌈 🇭🇺 Just a reminder how brittle democracy can be, despite the citizens becoming more inclusive over time. Evil triumphs when the good do nothing…

TIL there is a way to link to a GitHub issue/PR without generating noise in that issue/PR: use www.github.com instead of github.com github.com/orgs/communi...

I'm trying to use ChatGPT to search information about how something works, and: - it's good that it's backing up each of its claims with links to code - it's bad that all the links it shares don't actually back up its claims

There is a bee that got inside, but: - I have no inside plants to put it on - the wind outside is too strong to kick it out And I don't know what to do :/

Should have importing files as text and bytes ready for Deno 2.4 -- will be unstable because it hasn't been standardized.

I hate that railway companies often try to deny your rights by linking to some unrelated law article that has nothing to do with what you are asking about, hoping that you'll get confused and just assume that they are right.

Yesterday I presented about #Temporal at #JSNation. In case you missed it, here are my slides! (with clickable links on the "learning more" page!) ptomato.name/talks/jsnati...

In case anyone out there is looking for a good-first Chromium bug, issues.chromium.org/issues/42421... is one I'd be happy to mentor someone through..

GitHub blocked GitHub Actions on all my repositories, this is very frustrating... Do I know anybody that could help? It says that it's because "recent account payments have failed or your spending limit needs to be increased", but neither is true.

Once again someone proved that this is the only correct approach to firearms licensing 😭😢

ECMAScript excitement 😉 Congrats to @nicr.dev @ryzokuken.bsky.social on landing support for TC39 Stage 3 `import defer` (Lazy Evaluation) in upstream TypeScript heading for TS 5.9 🎉 Thanks to @jakebailey.dev @danr.bsky.social @chronicles.org Wes Wigham for the reviews 👍 github.com/microsoft/Ty...

I just saw a comment in the Babel codebase referencing "Babylon", which was the name of @babel/parser... 7 years ago 😬
