Just thought of a tool idea to help language learning more and it leverages Anki and is really simple.

enough. i’m tired of github actions. it’s time for github consequences

Ooooo npmx.dev docs page is really handy. Saves so much work deploying JSDoc myself when npmx does it out of the box. Can easily just link to npmx.dev for documentation instead! npmjs.com continues to look more and more dated. 😅

2FA is not merely a security authorization, it is a liveness and an intent check, it is a ceremony. it's perfectly positioned in between build and going live. you're never meant to be able to brew a coffee on the side while you wait for it to finish.

npm is a genuine liability. 😭 I urge people to at least use pnpm and set some basic security options in there to mitigate risk. But it's still inherently unsafe to use the registry imo but it is the industry standard. 😵

I've come to learn recently that understanding a language isn't about translating to one's native tongue on the fly. It's just a feeling. I don't think I fully know a word until I feel it rather than actively translating it to English. Monolingual things. 🤣 This is probably common knowledge.

84 TanStack npm package artifacts were compromised in the ongoing Mini Shai-Hulud supply chain attack, adding suspected CI credential-stealing malware. Socket flagged every malicious version within six minutes of publication. Details: socket.dev/blog/tanstac...

I find that if I have to use a type assertion in TS it's used in an abstraction that has the unsafe "asserted" code in it. Like a function that remaps arrays to objects. You can't type this elegantly and infer everything. You need a type assertion and unit tests to create a safe API for reuse.

Ngl I'm pretty disappointed by the election results. Damn people just don't get it. 😅

I see some people on the internet have THOUSANDS of Anki cards waiting for review. 😭 Why do you want to torture yourself like that.

Ok update on my immersion with Frieren. As expected it's 95% noise for me. But that 5% is there... I have even learned some words and I am on episode 5.

🚀Rolldown 1.0 is here!🚀 Rust-based high-performance JavaScript bundler. 🏎️ Runs at native speed that’s up 30x faster than Rollup 🤝 Compatible with existing Rollup & Vite plugins ⚡The underlying bunder for Vite After 2 years, Rolldown is officially stable and has 20+M weekly downloads.

Ok I'm going to start immersing into Japanese. I've set myself a challenge to watch all of Frieren again in pure Japanese. I'll report back when I have done it and say what sticks! Immersion has to be done to learn a language even if it's just gibberish to start with. Which is a shame.

In an effort to make the strictest most opinionated codebase, I have been adding loads of eslint rules that make sense (so not like the Airbnb ruleset lol) One of them was banning using the `typeof` keyword on GraphQL mutations, queries and subscriptions.

It's been interesting trying to write Japanese on my new account @jp.jackwright.online 😅 my first post was a little bit of a car crash but it's still kinda hilarious. 😂 I hope I keep using the account. I think it'll be an important piece of my beginner's journey.

Azure Function Apps are great until they're not.

Kaishi 1.5k Anki deck is really good! If you're a beginner like me I recommend doing this after learning kana. It pairs super well with separate grammar studies.

Sometimes the worst code is the type of code that _only just_ qualifies in code review and doesn't receive any comments. The sort of code that is a lil ugly, there's a gut feeling but ehhh "it's fine".

I need to top using GitHub.

Learning Japanese has really made me question how the hell I speak English. Sounds weird right? But oddly I can't come to terms with how I don't even think about speaking or writing it it just happens autonomously. I don't even really understand how. 😂

My dog gets scared at the littlest things. 😭 Like a low battery beep from our smoke alarm. What sort of PTSD does it invoke? 😂

Turns out I booked yesterday and today off 🤦 and I have been working. Thankfully my manager moved the hols to tomorrow and Thursday. 😂

I still have my Framework laptop 13, have been happily using it for a few years. Looking at the new Framework 13 Pro, I love how I can buy the screen separately! I hope the chassis I can be purchased separately at some point too. I might swap my laptop's screen it looks so good.

Oooo I am rockin' Linux kernel v7

Leading on from learning Japanese this time I have decided to use Anki. Safe to say this piece of software has found a firm place in my "software that improves my life" tool belt. Use it if you're learning languages - or anything that benefits from atomic memorisation!

Also with Norwegian I was only learning it because my friend's friend spoke it. And I didn't really know them. I'm very motivated to learn Japanese for a few reasons. A motivator is key. 😁

I'm back into trying to learn Japanese. Last time I gave up shortly before a month. And the worst thing is that it was a repeat of when I tried to learn Norwegian. Almost a month... Burnout.

AI: "Clean. I've just refactored this for you." Me: "Clean? Wtf is this"

Long weekends are just the BEST. It's wild how relaxed and ready I feel with that extra day. Booked Fridays off this month, to use up the rest of my leave before reset and it's the first time I have done it.

Contracts exchanged for my first home. Sooo exciting!!!

@osu.ppy.sh ranked looks so cool! Can't wait to try it. 😁

Why is it when I am at work that I am the most motivated to make and learn things? It's not even work related things, I mean personal things and projects.

Type assertions with `as` in TS is in my opinion one of the most misused parts of TS.

Skoda's new bike bell that exploits weaknesses in noise cancelling headphones is great but I can't help but feel like the companies who made these headphones should really implement the solution in themselves.

The one thing holding up the exchange of contracts for my first home is my seller wanting his seller further in the chain to service the boiler. Only reason I find this cheeky is my seller refused to pay for his boiler service for me, yet demands people further in the chain to pay.

Me, watching a TV show, 50 years in the future: "And this was the decor of choice following the depressing times of the 2020s."

My parents have been really into collecting these ghosts from a niche shop in York called the York Ghost Merchants. They are collectable, handmade, unique, artsy ghosts.

Still no regrets deleting LinkedIn. Though as it was late last year I did it, it was probably too late. :(

Oooo haven't done an Osu! post in a while. Been using the noscope mod which hides the cursor after a combo of 10, but I have been setting it to 0 which means a cursor that's permanently invisible except for breaks. It was punishing at first but it's getting genuinely fun to play that way.

scan.co.uk is a good storefront, but they use IESnare which is a very predatory and extensive tracker. And using adblockers makes a lot of core functions of their site unusable. Thankfully, you can still buy things with an adblocker - but ONLY with your card details.

Started doing python again. Gotta say uv is really nice coming from JS land!

Excited for the Good Friday & Easter Sunday long weekend. 😁 It's rolled around so fast. 😅

I'm about to sign my contract for my first home. Shsjivisghsohsohdhxohsohs This is surreal. 🤯

Love this Thanks @apenwarr.ca I agree with it a lot!

I usually keep AI posts to a minimum but... I have set up a stack that runs AI almost 100% locally and does web searching with SearcNG and Playwright with Open WebUI. It's actually pretty cool, and all my chats, models and search history is stored on my server, locally.

ECMAScript EXTRA-SPECIAL excitement 😉 🚨🚨🚨 IT'S ABOUT TIME! 🚨🚨🚨 Congrats to @ptomato.name on advancing Temporal to Stage 4 at @tc39.es today 🎉 Temporal is the replacement for the JavaScript Date API 👍

I need to move away from Bluesky's PDS and move to a European one! It will be interesting to see how to do this.

For the longest time, and ironically, the word I never pronounced correctly was literally the word "pronunciation". I thought because pronounce was spelled with a "nounce", the spelling of pronunciation was "pronounciation" 😂 so I said it that way.

I feel like I should have known this ages ago but I learned recently a big no-no with alt text is saying that something is a screenshot or photo before describing what the image is.

Osu! is the only game I support to this extent. I've been slowly growing my supporter length over the 11+ years of playing. 😂 - It's not P2W - No MTX - Open Source - Has an extremely transparent dev team - Fun
