📝 First blog in a long time! I always like “flow-based” programming, and it’s a very powerful paradigm. LangGraph lets you codify complex workflows as graphs, and also integrates really well with LangChain, if your workflow is LLM-driven. surma.dev/things/langgra…

`builtins.wasm` is now a (experimental) thing in @DeterminateSys’ nix, with a PR open for upstream nix. This lets you extend the nix language by compiling C/C++/Rust/etc into safely sandboxed, platform-independent plugins! determinate.systems/blog/builtins-…

Something that hasn't been made clear: Firefox will have an option to completely disable all AI features. We've been calling it the AI kill switch internally. I'm sure it'll ship with a less murderous name, but that's how seriously and absolutely we're taking this. …

I dug into the state of progressive image rendering and found: ➡️ Safari renders JPEG differently (worse imo) ➡️ Progressive AVIF is possible in Chrome ➡️ Progressive JPEG XL isn't possible in Safari ➡️ JPEG XL decodes worryingly slow ➡️ Progressive doesn't solve responsive imgs

Nix friends: How terrible is this idea? I added `builtins.runWasm` to nix, allowing you to call out to Wasm. The Wasm is reset every time, so the functions remain pure. This gives you a (performant?) escape hatch for things that Nix is missing. E.g parsing YAML (here: via Rust)

You know your @js13kGames submission is going well when you have to resort to `btoa` and other seemingly stupid hacks to get below the file size limit.

Convince me I am wrong: This should not be a type error, right? - I asserted it’s an object - I am using `?.` for property access #code/GYVwdgxgLglg9mABDAzgWQJ4BUAWMwDmAFAG4Bci4A1mHAO5gCUFJyKiA3gIYUpQBO+AgF9OAKESTkwIlAwAHAKZxgiVgEIAvJsQAiOACMAVoui7Gifoqgh+SYFwA2KRQG4JUmDLlKVagPwAdFyIWjq6fIKE5pbWtvZOLu5SsTZ2iAIgbmLCQA" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">typescriptlang.org/play/?#code/GY…

@mjackson Have you tried studying functional programming? Signals are really just monads, a monoid in the category of endofunctoros. In this Ted talk...

CSS uses a complex algorithm to decide how to animate transforms. If you get it wrong, as many folks do, you end up with an unnatural animation. Here's how it works, and how to avoid the pitfalls. jakearchibald.com/2025/animating…

Unexpected dangers of vibe coding: Somehow git ended up tracking its own .git folder and now I can't commit anymore :3

@shqld Oh good! Thank you! At least I’m not mad. I guess I’ll read it out of `mapper` for now 🤷

Folks who know their way around the TypeScript type checker, I need help: gist.github.com/surma/be14ca81… How do I figure out what types the type parameters have been bound to given a `CallExpression`? I know the answer is in `resolvedSignature.mapper`, but that’s not a public API.

@SamuelScheit I don't really see context in here? Just another person with the same problem. But it did introduce me to uwasm, which I'm using now.

Wait, am I dumb? What does NodeJS' WASI implementation only accept file descriptor numbers for stdio? Why don't they allow a Readables/Writables? How are you supposed to capture the output of a WASI module? #new-wasioptions" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nodejs.org/api/wasi.html#…
