SvelteKit async SSR has landed! The future of Svelte is now here. Try it out along with the new remote functions! See the PR for some unfinished rough edges. Work continues on it while it's behind an experimental flag, but you can now play around with it! github.com/sveltejs/kit...

I ride a Tern GSD and care so much about driving I let my driver license expire.

Why your next car should be an electric cargo bike

As if you needed more reasons to use @svelte.dev instead!

Pause your doomscrolling and listen to this story.

what's the deal with Europeans pronouncing Nike as one syllable? and why does this bother me so much??

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

pnpm v10.16.0 adds "minimumReleaseAge", a setting for defining how long a version has to have been published before pnpm will install it. A nice countermeasure against accidental installs of short-lived compromised packages before they get taken down. Not a 100% fix, but a great additional step!

We just passed four years in Europe. It was a good idea then and it’s a better idea now.

I've long thought that near-silent EVs should be required to play a little horse clipclop.wav that matches the relative speed of the car

I finally understand boomers avocado meme. "Boomers bought houses at a time when saving a couple of pounds per day taking a packed lunch to work would give you a house deposit in eight years. For a millennial this would take two centuries." martinrobbins.substack.com/p/waspinomic...

Oh this is spectacularly evil

"Why should I care about U.S. Space Command being transferred to Alabama? I hate the military-industrial complex. We spend too much money on defense. Why does it matter which rich people get richer off it?" There are a number of reasons you should care, but you really only need one. (thread)

here’s a version where the POV is blacked out whenever the driver takes their eyes off the road

Too soon #idgsmf

For about the third time in my life, I am in a phase where I just want to study and play chess all day.

True in many places

You're absolutely right! - me replying to every beta tester

holy shit this is a helluva ad from the Democrat running against Joni Ernst in Iowa. worth every second

WHAT FED INDEPENDENCE ACTUALLY MEANS In today's newsletter, I wrote about the way Trump sees the Fed, and the potential constitutional stakes involved here.

I am going to have an aneurysm

OpenTelemetry tracing is live in SvelteKit! Huge s/o to @stracke.tech for all the help along the way. SvelteKit can now emit OTEL spans for all of its serverside constructs. It also provides an instrumentation file to easily set up trace exports. svelte.dev/blog/sveltek...

This dude has it. We got some generational talent in the party.

Before coming to Copenhagen, I saw a few YouTube videos that say the cycling infrastructure is better in Amsterdam. After being in Copenhagen, I say I don’t care because it’s incredible how easy and safe it is to get around everywhere by bike and I wish more cities were like Copenhagen.

1999: VCs and brokers approached me with maybe an $11B deal/ I just remembered my basic values, and I turned them down Not being altruistic, just basic Things have worked out better than I thought, by the time I pass, guessing my total contribution to stuff I believe in will be around one billion

Okay I found the most depressing post

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

OpenFreeMap survived 100,000 requests per second I was about to post about how nice the last 10 months of OpenFreeMap have been. The architecture has really proven itself to be great, Cloudflare has agreed to sponsor the bandwidth, Hetzner servers are super stable as always,

I am incandescent with fury and disgust

📈 Here are the SvelteBench results for gpt-5. Overall it places in 12th spot. However, it's a huge improvement over the other GPT models (last image), and seems like a decent choice for Svelte 5. Mini and Nano do not inherit the good scores. 😿 khromov.se/svelte-bench #svelte

It's tough to do. But ‪@petebuttigieg.bsky.social‬. You pissed off @jesscraven101.bsky.social.

SvelteKit remote functions are now available under an experimental flag. Docs here: svelte.dev/docs/kit/rem...

Motherfucking wind farms…

New post in a very long while lihautan.com/compile-svel...

Judaism: “What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor. That is the whole Torah; the rest is commentary.” To claim condemning wrongdoing is “anti-Semitic” is to claim Judaism would remain mute at & allow for horrific violence against others. I cannot imagine a more anti-Semitic idea than that.

Adding to my list of reasons to cry from jsdate.wtf > “Consider "200". Is this the year 200? Is this the 200th day of the current year? Surprise, in ISO 8601 it’s neither — it’s a decade, spanning from the year 2000 to the year 2010. And "20" is the century from the year 2000 to the year 2100.”

when they close it all up, I do believe this will go down as the funniest video on the internet

THIS is a great video. This is what conservative oligarchs & billionaires fear. The NYC election is showing there is another way possible.

The mind boggles at the size of China's newest dam project. It alone will be able to produce more electricity than needed to power the UK or Poland. It's such an expensive project that the 2nd largest economy's 30-year bond yield changed on announcement. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This is one of the most helpful accounts I’ve seen of how the US got into the position of cutting taxes just because it could, from @bhgreeley.bsky.social. Gift link for non-FT subscribers: on.ft.com/3THMB0X

One like, one opinion about how to solve climate change.

Vienna has been dethroned. The new "world's most livable city" is [drum roll] Copenhagen, which was also, in a separate survey, recently ranked the world's happiest city. US cities basically do everything exactly the opposite of Copenhagen, which is why not a single US city is in the top ten.
