@housecor Every time I remember this I have to stop myself from misusing it >.>

One of the weirdest JavaScript features: Functions can have properties.
Why? Because JavaScript functions are objects.
So, this is valid JS.

@nickblowtech @JoeEmison @chronark @thdxr @BHolmesDev @bunjavascript The funniest version of this I've ever seen is the PHP version of Selenium, which shells out to Curl to make requests.
English
@JoeEmison @chronark @thdxr @BHolmesDev @bunjavascript Sometimes you just need to use CLI tools that have poor bindings into node. EG We ended up using imagemagick via shell as the bindings were missing some features we needed and we didn’t want to go to the bother of forking just to add more features.

debates around bun std library shows the gap between people working on something full time vs random commenter
several times i have felt like it was "bloat" whenever stuff is added to it
...and then i inevitably find myself using it - our instincts are just wrong

i was a little surprised at the number of negative reactions to Bun.s3 is it because it wasn’t clear enough that there are many non-AWS S3-compatible object storage APIs? you haven’t had to write code that uploads or downloads files on a server? something else?

@OndrejMirtes No; their request implies that you aren't appropriately prioritizing their needs; you're just responding with an equivalent accusation that they're not contributing fairly.
Being "Nice" isn't only worth it if you're not respected in turn.

@TurboDad @GergelyOrosz I wonder if part of that is that code is more "tangible" to a newcomer; easier to practise, with more concrete problems.
English
I don't know how many times I've had convos with friends looking to move into tech, learning JS & .net for FE roles as if that's all "tech" is. But seriously, ops folk being the thin line of heros that keeps all of the sites everyone relies on in daily life humming is truly amazing work.

Every Black Friday Shopify shows how "boring" technology can be scaled just fine.
This year they did 45M queries/sec with MySQL and somewhere around 1.3M request/sec on Rails.
If a tech company has enough business to need to scale: it can scale with whatever boring tech it uses

🐬 Shopify's world-class database fleet, powered by MySQL 8, processed an incredible 45 million queries per second and more than 1.4 billion row operations per second at peak. That’s commerce at a truly planetary scale 🌐

@JLarky Companies do so love cosplaying as bigger companies with more intricate needs tho

@thdxr @DylanLacey True to large degree. But even with instant easy screen switching, I sometimes still prefer to be able to just glance to the side instead. Especially when working on front-end code.

It might behoove you to head over to bsky.app/profile/gentle… and follow me there.
Just japes and jests, code and quests, affectations and explications, but I'm rapidly becoming fond of it.

@thdxr Ah Roger Roger. The "forced to learn" bit resonates a lot; when I was unable to use my wrists without excruciating pain, I was using Talon Voice (which is very cool BTW) and desperately trying to memorise the kbd shortcuts I'd not internalized yet (speaking them was faster)
English
i've understood for a long time that obviously your eyes only focus on one small places a time
the only reason we use splits is to avoid window management - but that can be solved with practice / right tools which i have already been using for a decade
just never forced to use them super well

@thdxr A: second screen while travelling (esp. when streaming)
B: taking notes at uni (with the keyboard) because textbooks are heavy and I wanted to keep the weight down.

@sensorystories_ "Parents recognise symptoms in themselves" is my favourite genre of ADHD diagnosis reactions
English
When your kid gets diagnosed with ADHD and their lack of organization is explained to you in a way that makes you realize you've struggled with organization your whole life and never realized it. 🤯

@TkDodo I cannot adequately describe the level of distaste I have for screenshots of code.

imagine you wake up every day in room-sized bed. you are gently lifted from the covers and dressed in warmest sweaters each morning. your favourite foods are brought to you. you have no bills, no job, no responsibilities. but you are a chihuahua, so you are blind with rage.

I ordered a capuccino at 1pm in Venice and the grandma running the cafe literally said "it is not breakfast anymore, signora" and gave me an aperol spritz and you know what?
she was right

"the customer is always right" simply does not apply in italy

Today we ponder the big questions:
1. Are we alone in the universe?
2. Is it better to cause suffering with the certainty of greater good, or avoid suffering with the possibility of harm?
And
3. Where is my shifter?
