Huge thanks to @convex.dev for sponsoring Solid!🎉 Your support helps us continue building fast, reactive experiences for devs everywhere. We're excited to see the amazing apps our community will create combining Solid's fine-grained reactivity with Convex's real-time backend. 💪

I’m really impressed with Alien: Earth. They nailed it. Everything about it feels authentic and an evolution/extension of the franchise. Every episode is so well done.

If Canada is investing into sovereign cloud, why don't we make it a mandate for Canada Post? Expand it's responsibilities, leverage it's real-estate holdings and use it to transform the organization from ground up (since it needs a major shakeup).

Wait...when did Spotify add a messenger to the app? Why? lol.

Was just made aware that solidjs.cn . Looks like a forked website with the Ukraine war banner + link to advanced video removed. I'm assuming this is done to sidestep Chinese censorship laws (which is their prerogative). My concern is that Chinese users are being given old information about Solid.

I'm working on a new #Golang RPC framework experiment. If it's good, worthy of public consumption, then I'll open-source it. I'm experimenting with JSON-RPC 2.0 and FlatBuffers. DX needs to be smoothed out but it could be promising.

System of a Down & Deftones were insanely good last night. I don't have a voice this morning though 😆

I don't know who needs to hear this: spaghetti and meatballs is NOT Italian. It's American. That is all. 😃

We're excited to announce three new Solid Fellowships focused exclusively on supercharging SolidStart development! Thanks to the amazing people at Anomaly Innovations for making this happen. 🥳🙌 Fun Fact: Solid has given out US$45,000 in Fellowship funding since Sep 2022! 🤩 1/4

Banks, chip companies and now defense firms. The irony in all this is the US is turning towards "state-capitalism" without realizing that's a friendlier word for, brace yourself, ........communism 👻👻👻. How can you be anti-communism but operate like communists? www.reuters.com/business/aer...

We're thrilled to welcome Atila Fassina (‪@atila.io) to the SolidJS Core Team as the SolidStart Team Lead! 🎉 1/3

Omg the Oval Office looks so trashy 🤦‍♂️

How about…no?! Just no. Leave it with Google. Please. We don’t need another standards decaying browser laying around. www.reuters.com/business/med...

Hold on…Blackstone (and other minor investors) just bought 49% stake into Roger’s wireless infrastructure and no one properly reported it? I doubt Canadians are cool with this. about.rogers.com/news-ideas/r...

Hilarious parody song about the tariff war. 🇨🇦💪 youtu.be/8peiLVFsLdw?...

Agency Life Stories: during an in-person design review session, a client showed up with screenshots of our finished designs supplied as interactive files but printed on large easel-backed bristol boards. We spent hours red-lining them. There were about 75 of them. I will never forget that. 😆

Legitimate question: why isn't the OData specification more popular amongst OSS and startup communities? I know it's more enterprise oriented but curious why it wouldn't be more widely adopted. I'm going to guess that it's too rigid?

History is doomed to repeat itself. :p

Honestly instead of a spa why wouldn't we build a 50k stadium on #OntarioPlace? An indoor/outdoor venue to replace Budweiser Stage with the *best* facilities. LiveNation + Rogers + provincial & municipal funding to get it done. Instead we get this... #TOPoli www.narcity.com/toronto/cold...

Fun fact: Nvidia was named after the Latin word "invidia" which means "to envy".

lol. The hilarity of seeing Drake go viral with Iceman. The warehouse is like 2 blocks from me. 🤣 www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/arti...

About to sink my teeth into this. I’m going in as a skeptic of his thesis, armed with a lot of undergrad multicultural theory. Will report back with thoughts.

Really enjoyed this interview from @betakit.com

Just learned that in 1867, before they decided to call Canada by it's current name, other names were considered: Albionora, Borealis, Hochelaga, Superior, Tuponia and Victorialand. Imagine saying you're from Superior 😆

Lifecycle of a @solidjs.com convert: 1. Why recreate React? Touch grass! 2. How do I use my React library in Solid? 3. Fine-grained reactivity? Sure Jan 4. What do you mean...no re-renders? 🤯 5. Arghhhh React!!! 6. *cornering ppl at parties* Have you heard the good news about signals? 😆

1/ Is your React app slow and the code error-prone? Are unnecessary re-renders, useMemo, useContext and memo slowing you down? 😭

Yikes. Horrible situation. We’re doing what we need to survive and thrive. Trump said he didn’t need Canada and we don’t need to spend our money there. Sorry…not sorry. 🤷‍♂️🇨🇦🍁 www.travelandtourworld.com/news/article...

Absolutely destroying noobs on GeoGuessr. What a fun game 😀

Had dinner at Medieval Times last night. I haven't been here in a decade and I live 15 minutes away. Man it hasn't change one bit. Pretty funny experience and almost a full house.

I've been streaming for about 3 years, pre-recorded conference talks/demos, but making a video was a completely different experience. But here is my first attempt at one. Let's talk JavaScript Frameworks: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAci...

Katja's work on @nitropage.bsky.social is incredible. There's such dedication and love for the work here. Such an underhyped project. Have a look!

I’d be one of the suckers buying them lol

My approach to open-source community management and member moderation: kill 'em with kindness. If that doesn't work. Ban the rapscallion!

Wow. I can’t believe I’m reading this. This is a new low.

Really curious to see how Gander turns out. Awesome tagline “I fly with Gander. Because ragebait isn't very Canadian.”

Have you ever tried my free, open source website builder? Which of its functions did you like? What did you find particularly annoying? And which feature do you miss the most? I would be incredibly happy to receive your feedback 😇! nitropage.org/contact/feed...

I just finished all seasons of #Pantheon on Netflix. Holy crap. The season finale...blew my mind. The whole series is fantastic. If you're an anime fan you'll find this slightly different but awesome. It's based on the work of Ken Liu (The Gods Will Not Be Chained). www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTgY...

Happy election day everyone! 🗳️✅🇨🇦. Polls open at 9:30am and close at 8:30pm (EST). I hope we elect a party focused on smashing our branch-plant brained Canadian mindset. Let's get a government focused on supporting domestic economic growth and innovation. Let's unleash our talent + ideas. 🇨🇦❤️

Pretty revealing and also hard interview to listen to. To summarize: "I've seen the enemy and the enemy is us" - we need to get out of our own way and set policies that unleash the true economic capability and innovation of the nation. Stop being just a brand-plant. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdKW...

Who remembers that time the Americans invaded Toronto and occupied it for less than a week? 😅😬🙃

Movie you’ve seen more than six times, no Star Wars or Trek or LOTR

@solidjs.com has filled 4+ years of my life. Lots of highs and lots of lows. Lots of work but also lots of fun & growth. As community leader, it's been a ride! Watching Ryan innovate and shake up the ecosystem has been so awe inspiring. Looking forward to many more years and more solid growth. 😉

I fell in love with @duckdb.org this year. We've been working on a giant data migration project for the past 6 months and it's really saved my tuchus a few times. Lots of cross-source datasets (Excel, CSV, JSON, Parquet, S3 storage etc.). The ability to write almost everything in SQL is so good.

Fantastic story!

American companies that make everything from keychains to mattresses say Chinese manufacturing is superior, and tariffs won’t be enough to shift production to the United States.

Anyone in Toronto interested in board games and willing to play through Twilight Imperium? If you’re not familiar it’s not for the faint of heart. If interested DM me!

I'm delighted to announce my latest project ⚡️ blazing fast 📦 built from scratch for devs 🎛️ offering full control of your environment 💰 VC funding welcome accept no imitations

Black Mirror new season is fascinating. So far Plaything is the best episode. Love the concept.

And so begins allergy season. 😿

Great video by Senator Adam Schiff speaking directly to Canadians about the current situation between our countries. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcrL...
