Wow. Looks like Trump just lost Amazon Web Services its contract with Finland for cloud-based management of election information. No price given. But would be interesting to know how soon European digital sovereignty might start to mean something to US hyperscalers' bottom lines.
Someone, presumably #DonutLab themselves (the company making big claims about a #solidStateBattery), has just launched this website:

This in fact has been quite a neat rabbit hole, I anticipate that the linux market share might climb for the next decade
Sent a message to my bank in europe before holidays for some mortgage related stuff in may and they replied that they'll get back to me around week 27 😁
Had a nice experience switching to primarily use linux at home, what a refreshing sensation tinkering around in it! Most prominently it is fun to use and be creative with, feels like something special that I last remember from experiencing the Windows XP era.. 🐧
Refreshing take in the TanStack docs
“Somewhere between the launch of the iPhone and the cultural fallout of the pandemic—we lost the human currency of kindness.”
Kindness feels radical.

summarizing the week of economics with my favorite comic of all time which happens to be constantly relevant
Talking to a friend this morning brought this into focus:
The current situation puts lots of people in impossible situations. We find ourselves often with no good choices. What you decide to do in an impossible situation really shows who you are and many people/orgs are failing that test.
Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements
i'm increasingly convinced that global algorithmic feeds end up spiraling into rage and click baits, no matter the platform. i hope the next wave of social infra will focus on overlapping local and topical communities instead. densely connected peers over amplified stars
I've already released major versions of 24 (roughly half) of the packages I maintain - dropping CJS in favor of pure ESM. Coming soon to my most impactful packages like react-pdf very soon. Go ESM! 🚀

OK, gonna throw this spicy bomb out there.
If you're fortunate enough to have disposable income, then right now it is your duty to use that income wisely. You have agency over how you spend it and you should own how you spend it.
Your decisions do, in fact, affect stock prices of big corporations.
If you think that Europe is doomed, you’re not paying attention.
Wrote a recap of the latest developments and call me a hopeless Europtimist but I think Europe+ (including Canada) isn’t doing too bad in terms of offering Ukraine an actual perspective for the future. With or without the US.
These reports are often a bit rambling on some explorative weekend projects, mainly for brief showcase, thought provoking, and to collect my initial thoughts and reasoning.

Wrote a quick report on creating storytelling tooling for heavily relative data. For now just delving into visualizing the data, but looking to expand this further.

Cool idea to incorporate some old designs and portfolios, gotta rustle my archives as well :D.. got propably some gnarly sites from 2004 that would be fun to showcase
I'd love a VSCode extension that highlighted any variable that TypeScript thinks has type any
🧑🎄 Node.js now supports TypeScript by default 🤯 🎄
This sums it up, yes.
Not a repo, but enjoy this funky finnish concept post car autotoday.fi/paivan-museo.... Article unfortunately in finnish :p
My most favorite thing of trying out new things is giving feedback to the teams working on them ❤️ Dogfooding is great but sometimes you need a pair of fresh eyes to spot the rough edges.
"Our online spaces are not ecosystems, though tech firms love that word. They’re plantations; highly concentrated and controlled environments, closer kin to the industrial farming of the cattle feedlot or battery chicken farms that madden the creatures trapped within." www.noemamag.com/we-...
A code screenshot showcasing the usage of a shared mutable state between tests as a test utility setup. Below, alternative solutions. First one uses a deferred initializer pattern. The second one rewrites the utility to leverage Symbol.dispose to keep a flat test and a self-cleaning up utility.
😖 This has to be one of my most hated testing patterns. Do NOT use this.
Here are two amazing alternatives.
love writing these newsletter issues
even though it might be only a week since creating the demo content, usually always discover a new trick or something whilst writing
this is why you should blog/write/whatever
explaining things you've done to others is usually a win for all
Insomnia is so much better here.
