Yeah, I’m not asking AI how to navigate my life. It’s interesting that lots of people are starting to. The rise of the AI gut check  - www.reuters.com/lifestyle/ri...

Solidjs exemplifies simplicity at its finest, it is so fun to use and while based on a few very powerful concepts, each of which will carry you miles

I listened to the Reagan speech the Ontario government quoted, and no honest person could claim it was taken out of context. But what interested me more was the next clip that autoplayed, where he connects the American founding to the rejection of tariffs. 🔥🔥🔥 youtu.be/Tp1T7kPEdDY?...

We just crossed 1 million downloads a week! 🎉🚀 Thanks to everyone supporting our community!

This is good news. Canadians are proud of Alberta as well. We should definitely do a better job of listening to their concerns and supporting their rise and help them diversify their industries. 🍁🇨🇦 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Wild Prediction: if the Blue Jays win the World Series, Trump is going to try and remove Canadian teams from US sports leagues. Doesn’t make sense from a business perspective, I know, but does anything these days?

Here’s the ad Trump is talking about in case you haven’t seen it yet. youtu.be/hN_CVvzExpM

Dominick Decoco :p

If American doesn't need anything Canada has why is the administration buying minority positions in Canadian critical mineral companies. It'll be interesting to see what kind of arrangement Trump and Carney workout for trade. www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...

Oh wow, the MacOS Tahoe UI is even worse than they claimed it would be. I just upgrade and I'm instantly *really* *really* not liking it.

Enjoying House of #Guinness and got thrown down a rabbit hole learning about the Fenians. I can’t find anything that suggests it, but the show has a plot line that the Guinness family gave a portion of their US profits to the Fenian’s supporting their attacks on #Canada. 🤔 Wild if true. lol!

The State of JS 2025 survey is now open! Give some love to Solid, Svelte, Vue and Angular! :) survey.devographics.com/survey/state...

For the first time in the 4 years I've been doing Friday streams, I will be having a @react.dev Core Team member as a guest. I'm excited to welcome @ricky.fm on to talk all things React. Past, present, future. www.youtube.com/live/3vw6EAm...

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...
