@PeaseRoland @CommonsForeign Very sad to hear this. My favourite podcast. Thank you for the excellent journalism Roland. I hope you get to continue your work somehow. A while back I wrote a blog post in praise of the show: keybits.net/posts/my-favou… Your interviewees saying 'exactly' is the highest praise.

The threat to World Service journalism has been picked up by @CommonsForeign, with a big section submitted on the proposed demise of ScienceinAction in a time of increasing anti-science and disinformation. Hopefully influential people are listening. committees.parliament.uk/committee/78...

In the latest issue of Private Eye (thanks to a friend for sharing) - "So farewell then, Science in Action..." Wishing I could tell EJ Thribb that reports of the programme's demise are premature, but that may depend on support from outside the BBC. ☹️

@TechSquidTV @getsentry Congrats Kyle, sounds great for both you and Sentry!

🎉BIG NEWS TIME🎉 I am joining @getsentry as a Developer Experience Engineer! Expect videos and content 💪

@tomhacks @fireship_dev This is what you need for Svelte svelte-llm.khromov.se see youtu.be/zNkw5K2W8AQ?si… for usage

@fireship_dev Had the same issue with Svelte. Nearly all models fail with the new runes syntax constantly. I feel we need to create documentation context apis for any llm and somehow finetune them dynamically?

@jarredsumner @jamonholmgren github.com/nalgeon/redka is pretty nice single binary and sqlite file

@jamonholmgren This is awesome I feel slightly uneasy about using setInterval as a cron-like queue since data is lost on restart. It’s probably fine in this case, but I wish we had something like Sidekiq. A simple persistent & parallelizable background job queue with retries

Bun wildly simplifies my stack. I’m rebuilding an internal web app that we’ve had since 2016. So far, I have a grand total of 1 npm runtime dependencies (jwt-token). Our previous version of this tool, using Next, had 826 (!!!) NPM dependencies. I also have zero build steps. Just ship the files directly to the server. I’m using: - Bun as a JS runtime - Bun as a package manager - Bun.serve as a webserver - Bun’s websocket server for realtime - TypeScript on server side - JSDoc on the client side - REMEMBER: no build steps! - not even TypeScript in the deps - HTML via template strings - CSS - Hosted on DigitalOcean droplet - In-memory state (just a JS object) - JSON file for persistence - JS’s setInterval for scheduled tasks - git to deploy - Cursor to generate and edit code I’ll talk more about each of these below.

@thomasf @flydotio Thanks for the info. Is this a recent addition? Is pricing the sames as for stopped machines? (Suspend state isn't mentioned here #stopped-fly-machines" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">fly.io/docs/about/pri… )

If you previously set your @flydotio machines to stop, you can now change that to "suspend" instead of a complete stop. This adjustment allows for much quicker startup times. However, there are some caveats: it only supports machines with less than 2GB of memory and no swap enabled.

@firt I see you have bsky account, it's getting good over there 😉

That ‘unfortunately’ means it’s the wrong algorithm, and he doesn’t want to change it, even though he knows it.

@shl @motherfuton In particular, give SvelteKit a try. It's wonderful. I built this with it: github.com/postowl/postowl

@motherfuton What’s the most complex app built with Svelte?

What’s your favorite front-end framework? We’re thinking of moving (back) from Vue to React/Next.js.

@simonw Armin has written that he hopes Uv will make Rye redundant: lucumr.pocoo.org/2024/8/21/harv…

Published some more detailed notes on the huge new uv release today - "Cargo, for Python" simonwillison.net/2024/Aug/20/uv…

@_mql Looks fantastic! Great to see your take on this evolving 😀

Native rich text editing in Svelte 5. Think ProseMirror/Lexical but in ~600LOC. Uses a strict set of constraints to keep the codebase tiny. Work-in-progress...

@MarijnJH @jvpmamede The protocol and software for Bluesky are all open source and the network is 'locked open'. It's worth exploring as atproto is interesting technology with wide application. It's also a lot more efficient from a network traffic and electricity usage perspective than Mastodon.

@_mql @gauelcom I'm curious about "We can’t afford pulling in ProseMirror or Lexical, as that would be too much Javascript to load for people who are just viewing, but not editing a page." If the site is dynamically generated e.g. by SvelteKit why not only load the editor for logged in users?

@gauelcom Can you mind-read? :D Text.svelte is being worked on... letsken.com/preview/9a19ca… I think for a start the schema can be setup manually. We use Svelte 5 rune-enhanced classes to trigger UI updates when properties change.

My first attempt on taming contenteditable was 12 years ago. Yet today the job is still not done. 😬

@SalomeDoom @3sixrecordings en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Age_o…

Written 7 years before I was born, yet still sounds like it was made only yesterday. Peak.

@aarondfrancis Great video. As mentioned on the YouTube comments, Cloudflare Tunnels might be an easier option. Also Tailscale Funnels is great: #expose-a-development-server-to-the-public" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tailscale.com/kb/1247/funnel…

Watch me share my local dev env with the entire internet. And no, it's not as easy as it should be! I feel like we get this solved in a more official way, but if not I'm open to making a package out of it. youtu.be/pT7e31DMTYY

@Saboo_Shubham_ @simonw might like this!

Claude Sonnet 3.5 can now search the web with just 15 lines of Python code (step-by-step instructions):

@zeeg @slyapustin It very much feels like an SPA. Recommend giving it a try.

@slyapustin whats the tl;dr? does it _feel_ like a SPA, or just slightly optimized server rendering?

I really wish it was easier to take something server rendered (SEO) and upgrade it to a SPA. Feels like the obvious progression to me, but also not exactly where things are going.

@thomasf @posthog I can recommend @umami_software with excellent hosting for less than $1.20 a month with @PikaPods pikapods.com/apps

Looking for Google Analytics alternative which can be used self-hosted or managed? In this video we go through @posthog and how you can use it in your Remix/RR7 application

@ohmypy Just saw your blog post on this and remembered that the community there is very much in favour of allowing submissions from authors: lobste.rs/s/tnpfea/meta_… I wonder why mods didn't heed the weight of opinion?

@thesquashSH I use an iPad for music creation and production. The ability to run lots of synths, sequenceers and effects in an app like AUM is wonderful. When you stack up quite a few like this it can make good use of the M1: youtu.be/T4ZxuZ43g5I?si…

Is it just me or is the iPad CPU comically overpowered? I don't think iOS apps have been CPU constrained in years, and there's an artificial floor on responsiveness imposed by animation delays so they never "feel faster"

@thorstenball @joeldrapper @_mql @zeddotdev I'm loving Zed. It's now my main text / code editor. As mentioned GPUI v2 is in the stable release since they went open source. I found this post fascinating: zed.dev/blog/120fps

@joeldrapper @_mql @zeddotdev Yup, everything in that post is already out.

Great write up @thorstenball aka "the curious developer"! :) Excited for @zeddotdev v2 btw. zed.dev/blog/why-the-b…

@_mql @PaoloRicciuti This might be useful github.com/peterldowns/lo…

SvelteKit issue: When I expose the dev server to the network (npm run dev -- --host), cookies are no longer persisted when surfing the site via http://192.168.0.18:5173. When using http://localhost:5173 it works. Any idea anyone? @PaoloRicciuti?
