Building pi in a World of Slop — Mario Zechner YouTube video by AI Engineer

Excellent talk from @mariozechner.at on coding agents, and "slowing the fuck down" www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rjfb...

18 minutes, this is a very good time investment (while your agent is coding for you of course ;-)

the bro science comedy in Project Hail Mary is super funny. Also this is the only sci-fi/space movie where I felt satisfied with the ending.

Three browser window illustrations show changes before and after a modal opens, highlighting scrollbar behavior and layout shifts.

Ever noticed how your entire page shifts when you open a modal?

That's not a bug, that's a missing CSS property.

If I ever start regularly posting to LinkedIn, please understand that I am in distress and that is my signal to you that you need to save me.

sometimes github errors in a rare spot and you get to see some really dusty UI.

I usually hate my own writing and like how others write.

Now, I'm seeing more people delegate their writing to AI (not coding). It's obvious, and not very good. It's made me like my own writing more.

Vertical browser tabs with a visible top bar completely miss the point

Git diff adding `langs: []` to rehype-shiki highlighter config (previously omitted).

This git diff reduced fast refresh times for my Next.js app by 700%

take care not to preload all shiki languages 🙈

I love this library, but rehype-shiki's default here is unfortunate.

Been working on a new microsite to teach Next.js patterns, and I just published a new one:

"Sharing data with Client Components"

See how to use promises to keep your page unblocked so it can be rendered (or prerendered) as early as possible.

Enjoy!

Railway Railway is an infrastructure platform where you can provision infrastructure, develop with that infrastructure locally, and then deploy to the cloud.

i'm highly enjoying using railway.app

i think instead of starting with serverless, it would be good for many developers to start with Railway and then try serverless. i feel a lot more comfortable understanding the tradeoffs now

Hello friends and welcome to a new “How is ESM vs CJS going!” 33.4% of the popular packages on npm now includes ESM. Up from 29.6% half a year ago. We have a third!

ESM-only is up from 11.5% to 12.6%.

This is also the impact of half a year of Node 18 being EOL, making `require(esm)` available

Guides: Self-Hosting | Next.js Learn how to self-host your Next.js application on a Node.js server, Docker image, or static HTML files (static exports).

The auto reload bit should already happen when self hosting according to this doc: nextjs.org/docs/app/gui...

damn, this design slaps

But just as the red knight hurled his fire stick at the Dragon, a familiar bolt pierced it and deviated its course. "Cease the queste at once!" cried the blue knight. "We have new orders! The Queendom is under attack!"

There is an explosion in the top left corner, and in the top right corner is the Dragon (cormorant) flying away. The red knight is looking surprised, the blue knight has returned! Bagglyn and Grell are also there.

comparison between celsys's clip studio paint icon and mine. mine is similar but rotated with some comic styling and pink and blue highlights

comparison between mozilla's firefox icon and mine. mine is similar but looks closer to the old firefox icon and brings back the little arm and gives the fox a cute little smiley face

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far

i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

Search LibGen, the Pirated-Books Database That Meta Used to Train AI Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

JJ has replaced git for me `jj new post`

I recently tried going back to git after using jj for a while, just to see if I'd miss it. 10 minutes later and I was back in jj. Using git felt painful, so I switched for good.
