Getting ready for the "European Kill Switch" - investors don't see what's coming just yet or don't understand what's right in front of their eyes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=COVf...

SvelteKit 2 now fully supports Vite 8 SvelteKit 3 will require it - giving additional optimizations and functionality. E.g. SvelteKit 3 will use @rolldown.rs hook filters to spend more compilation time in rust and less in JavaScript. And SvelteKit 3 adapters use only rolldown without esbuild

Always 😔

"We live in a brakeless era" reminds me of the AA Milne poem The Engineer: ... > So that's what I make, When the day's all wet. It's a good sort of brake But it hasn't worked yet. voetica.com/poem/3354

Follow up here: thankful to folks educating in the replies, I’ve learned that the hyperlink text *shown* on Bluesky (similar to Fedi, too) can differ from the target URL and this modal is only shown when they differ. (for even more nuance: the post I encountered was a truncated link 🫣)

welp, this destroyed me first thing upon waking up

Still thinking about this hero

1Password not mincing words here: "If you are experimenting with OpenClaw, do not do it on a company device. Full stop." "If you have already run OpenClaw on a work device, treat it as a potential incident and engage your security team immediately." 1password.com/blog/from-ma...

It took a while, lots of debugging and fixes in rolldown, vite-plugin-svelte and sveltekit, but today it happened. For the first time, sveltekit tests in vite-ecosystem-ci for vite-8 beta passed. github.com/vitejs/vite-... Thanks to everyone who helped getting there especially @sapphi.red

Jew in Amsterdam here. Please use Anne Frank as a comparison point to explain how state persecution of scapegoats impacts children, that is the point of her example, thanks

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

When will it be enough for you, @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ? When will you be moved? You should be standing in the streets of Minneapolis. You should be shouting from the rooftops. What a pathetic pair of cowards.

to all citizens of the EU and other free nations: sorry about Trump, he is the distilled version of everything bad about America, those of us with eyes to see are working to defeat him and to help you to fend him off. the moment calls for cross border solidarity against tyranny

“nobody is insider trading off his death so it almost certainly didn’t happen” really sums up the state of the world in 2026 huh

I sometimes put “thank you” at the end of emails inappropriately too

This is a must-read piece by Casey Michel on the underlying reasons for the Greenland nonsense and it should be getting more attention newrepublic.com/article/2051...

This opens up wider questions about how far the UK and Canada in the 5 eyes intel sharing framework as well as other former allies of the United States can still provide the Americans with any sensitive intelligence information at all

It took me a second to think that the Trump admin might not have been behind this plot

Eric Adams, former NYC mayor, launched a memecoin (cryptocurrency) today. He marketed it as an “NYC Token” and used media appearances and his social media to promote it. Within hours, Adams then drained its liquidity, apparently having scammed investors out of $3.4 million—a move called a rug pull.

Depressed thinking about how my grandson or maybe my son (now 2) could get into a World War III phase in middle age

Every country needs to be following Finland's lead here. Media literary skills are going to be crucially important in the age of AI, where knowing what's real and what's not is going to be increasingly difficult apnews.com/article/fake...

A friend just had her checking account wiped out by her family's new health insurance premium (which went from $890 a month to $2800). The thing is, she'd cancelled the policy in early December, assuming it would also cancel the autopay. Nope.

NYE conundrum

I get to share some lovely personal news to end the year: NEON are picking up worldwide rights to IT ENDS! variety.com/2025/film/ma...

Part of the Chanukah tradition is to place the light menorah either outside or in a window where outsiders can see it. This is supposed to advertise the miracle of Chanukah. These days, it is also a way of saying, “This is a Jewish home.” Every year I think about how it is also an act of bravery.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah. Praying for his full & speedy recovery. And so deeply inspired by his example.

Making latkes, thinking about Bondi Beach

This is Charles Clyde Ebbets, the photographer who took the iconic “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” picture. Look at this fearless, dapper fuck wearing spats, suspenders, and a tie 850 feet above the ground. Absolute legend.

In the first six months of congestion pricing, air pollution within Manhattan's toll zone dropped 25%. Pollution fell across the five boroughs and in the suburbs, too. A clean air win all around.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

I love this so much. The full paragraph for "The plan fails to mention how traffic would be rerouted." The additional closed streets. The turning parking spaces into public restrooms! All of it. nypost.com/2025/11/29/u...

A historic first today as Opus 4.5 scores 100% on SvelteBench - the first model to do so. We're hard at work on the next version of SvelteBench that will use an agentic approach, if you have feedback, submit it here: github.com/khromov/svel... #svelte #ai

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

I will add: People who expected this teacher to be bummed do not know (good) teachers very well. A civics teacher? With a student who wants to run for office? That’s probably bliss.
