Immigrants are a net good and more people should be saying so. Signed, an immigrant.

Excellent summary! (Disclosure: I wrote mod_xslt2 for Apache 2 back in the day and have extensively used XSLT to format base data into all kinds of things)

Apparently “leading” lawyers and “experts” say that the Good Friday Agreement is no obstacle to UK leaving ECHR. Me, being neither, merely sets out what the Good Friday Agreement expressly says. davidallengreen.com/2023/07/why-...

This is a good article from @bearlypolitics.co.uk albeit surely uncomfortable reading for everyone on all sides in the UK. Firstly, we should all admire the directness and economy in his writing. 1

This love song is probably the most poignant expression of GenZ hopelessness I’ve heard. And yet its existence makes me supremely optimistic. open.spotify.com/album/1JUKrE...

(In post 5, Niall's Patented Tips on Campaigning.) The chances of Europe changing its visa waivers in favour of one country are minimal. Could other changes to Schengen happen?

Sometimes we take for granted what an amazing achievement of human collaboration this is Never have so many countries worked together for the betterment of all their citizens

It’s hard to overstate how much this will benefit things! This is absolutely HUGE!

Hoooray! I get to se Os NAPA once again on November 7th in London. Their set at Summer Opening in Funchal was phenomenal.

Type stripping is enabled by default 🔥🔥🔥🔥 You can just run `node file.ts` without `--experimental-strip-types` flag. This is a huge milestone

ECMAScript excitement 😉 Congrats to Richard Gibson on conditionally advancing Immutable ArrayBuffers to Stage 3 at TC39 this week 🎉 ArrayBuffer.prototype. get immutable() transferToImmutable(newLength) sliceToImmutable(start, end) The data in an Immutable ArrayBuffer cannot change 🔒

Welcome back, Ozzy

This motion before the UK House of Commons is really not acceptable. Firstly, let's reiterate somethings: Schengen is a core part of European unity; Having a common visa waiver is how we keep our internal borders open 90/180 is designed to prevent overstay and stop illegal working. A 🧵

„Wenn es nicht dein ist, nimm es nicht. Wenn es nicht richtig ist, tu es nicht. Wenn es nicht wahr ist, sag es nicht. Wenn du es nicht weißt, schweige.“ Diese Prinzipien betonen Ehrlichkeit,Integrität und Bescheidenheit – Werte, die in vielen Kulturen hochgehalten werden, aber oft schwer einzuhalten

Thanks @jakob.jingleheimer.dev for the recommendation. We made it just on time before their run is over 👍

These astute points from @seanconnorswrites.bsky.social neatly demonstrate why Europe is not going to relent on commitment to the euro for applicant states And it comes down ti that much abused phrase "single market" A 🧵 (Apologies @brainburnnow.bsky.social + @andrewbrook.bsky.social forimages)

Landed support for proxies in Node.js http/https builtins github.com/nodejs/node/... To enable proxies configured from *_PROXY env vars: use NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1. This was already implemented for fetch and released in 24 github.com/nodejs/node/... - soon the old builtins will also support it.

🧵 At JSNation, I showed graphs that honestly left me speechless about Node.js upgrade patterns Let me break down why I'm so passionate about getting you to upgrade - from security nightmares to exciting v24 features: 1/11 👇

So there is a need to respond to the lies that have been circulating about Europe, MSs and 90/180. This is the visa waiver defined in law (2018/1806). As you can see, the maximum visa waiver is 90/180 days. Britain qualifies for that. 1

Quitting programming as a career right now because of LLMs would be like quitting carpentry as a career thanks to the invention of the table saw.

dear web devs who disable paste on a banking site PLEASE STOP IT. I need to take out a really specific amount of money from a business account, I would much rather paste that number in from where I carefully calculated it than type it in from scratch and maybe make a typo security shouldn't hate UX

If an industry can’t survive without grand theft, then an industry CANNOT survive.

In this talk, I tell the story of how we're leveraging the Rust programming language to accelerate the Temporal implementation in V8. 🦀🦖

In 1985, the then German president gave a speech on the 40th anniversary of our liberation. It is considered a milestone in our understanding of responsibility, past & present. I append the English version below and offer an excerpt here. I recommend it to you, America. Urgently.

Mocking in tests is ALWAYS a bad idea. I know this is a spicy take, but if you need to mock you are writing a bad test. Either you thought you were writing a unit test but really wrote an integration tests without the integration, or you are writing a really crappy integration test.

ECMAScript excitement 😉 The Ecma General Assembly has approved ES2025 🎉 🔶 Duplicate Named Capture Groups 🔶 Float16Array 🔶 Import Attributes 🔶 Iterator Helpers 🔶 JSON Modules 🔶 Promise.try 🔶 RegExp.escape 🔶 RegExp Modifiers 🔶 Set Methods

Node excitement 😉 Congrats to @pipobscure.com on landing and now shipping a more robust fs.watch in Node v24.3 🎉 Previously file system changes could be missed when fs.watch is used as async iterator. nodejs.org/en/blog/rele... github.com/nodejs/node/...

"A hit dog will holler. And maybe that dog will win a reprieve from the Supreme Court, too. But even so, it still matters when old bulls of the judiciary, particularly conservatives like Judge Young, call out the Trump regime for turning civil rights laws on their head." — @lizdye.bsky.social

Came to College Lane to park my scooter and found 5 bikes on their side. Obviously someone carelessly hit them and pushed then over. Then saw on one of them the following note. What about the other 4 bikes?😡🤬

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...

Tackling Temporal Troubles - Fynn Ellie Becker fynn.be/talks/tackli... #javascript

Hard to believe that after working with nodejs.org for a dozen years yesterday was the first landing of a PR of mine. It’s a miniscule step for node, but a huge step for this nodeling. 🍾🎉🥳

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

What a pleasure to listen to the fabulous @pattyneta.bsky.social giving her talk: AI Monster Mash

> our implementation was not developed by Mozilla employees, but was contributed entirely by a single volunteer, André Bargull. Temporal is an absolutely massive spec and complicated implementation - it's been YEARS in the making. André out here just beating out billion dollar corps

ITS HAPPENING Firefox 127 shipped today making it the first browser to support Temporal - the new API for working with Dates, times, timezones + durations

We have a winner 🇦🇹 Congratulations to Austria's JJ, who has won the 69th Eurovision Song Contest with the song Wasted Love.

There is only one place you can enjoy the Eurovision Song Contest more than in Basel and that is at phoenixartsclub.com with all the most fun people in London.

Laughing so hard at/about the Swiss show-piece about things “made in Switzerland” at the Eurovision Song Contest Semi Final. They have exactly the right attitude: fun, ridiculous and grandiosely silly!🤪
