“EU issues Adobe with antitrust warning over $20 billion bid for Figma - The Verge”
Good. This is what regulators are for.
Just heard from my grandmother that she’s been fielding calls from our american relatives (of which we have quite a few) asking how she’s handling the evacuation of Reykjavík
🤦🏻♂️
Watching Icelanders re-report on social media what geologists are saying in Icelandic media is like watching a game of telephone turn into misinformation in real-time.
They use the right words (mostly) but all jumbled up so it ends up meaning something quite different.
“Messin’ around with web components. Also—JavaScript, generally • Lee Reamsnyder”
Fucking Apple just went and fucking changed how you get the emoji popup when using a hardware keyboard on iOS
Fucking asshole companies doing software updates: STOP MOVING MY STUFF AROUND!
Assholes.
“The Bluffer’s Guide to The Mythical Man-Month – Codemanship’s Blog”
Still one of the best books on software development.
I’m probably the prime target audience for The Marvels. Big nerd. Big fan of the characters in both their comics and live action versions. But I can’t bring myself to mask up and go to the cinema for it. I’ve seen enough superhero movies. They don’t warrant the effort.
It’s always fun to see Icelandic media try to “both sides” a potential eruption by finding that one geologist who is certain there won’t be an eruption, who was equally certain when interviewed three years ago there wouldn’t be any eruptions on the Reykjanes peninsula then either
Idle thought: much of modern web dev tooling is built in Rust and available as WASM. Frameworks built in both Ruby and Python could in theory use that and wasmtime to completely remove Node as a front-end tooling without losing functionality
“I Saw ‘Coyote Vs. Acme’ And It’s As Wonderful As Everyone Says It Is”
Dave Green’s Coyote vs. Acme isn’t merely good or above-average – it is SUPERB!
I hadn’t heard about this Rust-based code formatter before. I’d heard about Biome (née Rome) but not this one.
“Deprecation of formatting rules - ESLint - Pluggable JavaScript Linter”
This makes sense.
‘No, “the Church” did not kill Joan of Arc, you credulous dullards – Going Medieval’
IDK who you think the Church is, but if your answer is “whichever English guys happen to be in the area” then I am afraid you are just not correct
“Is Your Team Caught in the Solution Fixation Trap?”
The solution fixation trap emerges when a team rushes into discussing possible solutions before fully understanding the problem at hand.
“Solution Fixation Trap” A new synonym for “software development” just dropped.
“Byte by byte | Corporate Europe Observatory”
The concerted lobbying attempts of Big Tech to avoid and reduce regulation appear to have been successful.
Well, fuck.
“A New Technique for Image Optimization: SVG Short Circuiting—zachleat.com”
“Web components for (mathematical) writing, a first problem”
Turns out counters are tricky.
