Outlook for the new year ...

This year's GitHub Octoverse annual survey did a good job of correctly representing TypeScript & JavaScript as a single ecosystem. When this combined data is omitted, it results in misleading takes.

hello. my comedy special, Demi Adejuyigbe Is Going To Do One (1) Backflip, comes to Dropout November 19th ✨🔥🎷🐵🤖🇮🇹

To be clear: Vite, Vitest, tsdown, Rolldown, Oxc, Oxlint remain MIT. Vite+ is a new product with a new license.

Day one of @viteconf.org is almost over. There were so many great talks that I'm still processing so far, but I'm super excited about @rich-harris.dev's advancements in To-do list technology (surprise, it's actually Remote Functions for @svelte.dev!)

The only way to play the game is to work the crowd 🎤 Get ready for Crowd Control - a new series hosted by Jacquis Neal The 6 episode season premieres September 8th - only on @dropout.tv

My Cousin Vinny: Ace Attorney Had to finally release this from my head

INCREDIBLE LINEUP! I am especially excited for dem Threedom Boys, the Pretzel Gang, @threedomusa.bsky.social

LOS ANGELES: i'm taping my show DEMI ADEJUYIGBE IS GOING TO DO ONE (1) BACKFLIP as a special for @dropout.tv July 10th. two shows, at 7pm & 9:30pm. it's probably the last time i'll do the show because we are going big with it, and my bones HURT!! come on out! 1iota.com/show/1930/de...

💯 v1.100 of VS Code is here! And we’ve got some great updates for you, like: - Smarter chat responses with new tools - Improved multi-window support - Image and Streamable HTTP support for MCP servers …and so much more. aka.ms/VSCodeRelease Here are some of the highlights… 🧵

The right abandoned facts/logic and started purging the government of all but the most sycophantic employees. The left invited some students to a vigil (a thing I would never do). There is toxicity on both sides. What a clown 🤡

He's a SGE, it was always going to end in May whether or not he got "blowback"

Blue Prince is great, but it is really getting on my nerves. 12+ hours in, I've solved a few mysteries but now all forward progress is completely ruined by the RNG.

Assuming this isn't a bit, I'm surprised it's still up. Feels like the perfect quote for a report about the cognitive effects of heavy reliance on AI.

Chuck I implore you to stop talking about this amazing future where everyone will realize what a terrible time this was when we are experiencing the terrible time right now

Not sure why Musk would take issue with paid protestors when he pays people to sign petitions or vote (for Trump). It's all projection; they're fundamentally corrupt and so they think they see the same corruption everywhere.

No hot takes, Severance is just a good fucking show. Loved that finale, want more immediately but happy to wait.

PEOPLE OF BLUESKY! Ahhhhhh, it smells good here. Behold a trailer for season 2 of Poker Face! It’s gonna be a good one. May 8th on the almighty Peacock!

The greatest takeaway from the @jococruise.bsky.social has definitely been learning about Daphne Always & James Sheppard. Cabaret is alive and well and the vibes are immaculate.

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

The Brutalist (2025)

First they came for... some people, only a few really

1 dot = 1 "looking into this"

I didn't know that @discontinuedfoods.bsky.social wrote for The Onion

Just started a watch of the whole series recently. They're not all bangers but the producers were a critical part of the vision of what Bond should be. Not sure what comes next, bracing for slop

Severance is good because Adam Scott looks sometimes like a handsome man and sometimes like a witch from a 19th century Punch and Judy puppet show; the only show I know brave enough to speak on this duality within us

I know projection was always an issue with these people, but if I hear someone mention the "deep state" to refer to anything other than this shadow government I'm going to lose my mind.

David Lynch created some of my favorite films and one of my favorite shows. He was an incredible artist, and by all accounts a good person. I will miss having him around.

this is incredible stuff. most state DOTs would spend tens of billions on highway expansions to try and see numbers like this (that wouldn’t even pan out anyway thanks to induced demand lol)

1/n Some time ago my colleague, excellent cook, and friend Ivan told me: "Cacio e pepe is the recipe that I screw up more often. Let's make a project studying systematically the physics of that sauce". Prepare to get cheesy, I'm glad to share the Cacio e paper preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2501.00536

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

A $9 fee sure sounds worse when you scale it up to $1300 a year, but I'm curious about the cost of this "parking lot near Penn Station" that was somehow absent from this and many other articles.

Happy New Year from the drones off the coast of New Jersey, turns out they were an ad for Planet Fitness this whole time

📽️ The Faster TypeScript Compilation talk by @ashley-c.bsky.social is now published ⚡️ This talk from the recent London TypeScript meetup explains how the `ts-blank-space` type-stripping compiler works. ⚠️ Contains opinions on semi-colons Blog Post: bloomberg.github.io/ts-blank-spa...

Oh no, I thought going to see Wicked would somehow make me immune to all the PR

Here's the recording of my talk from the London #typescript Community Meetup. If you've seen #stricli by this point it's nothing new but it was a great event. Fellow presenters were amazing and I got to meet some really awesome people. youtu.be/AraUk6lyVCI

After the talk I realized I should have focused more on this behavior. It's the special sauce at the heart of Stricli

considering it could have been spoiled with two one-syllable words I'm surprised Conclave wasn't spoiled for me. Great movie (writing, acting, production; the works!)
