I wish Oxfmt supported plugins. Prettier's plugin API is one of the worst APIs I've ever worked with. I'm eager to switch to a different formatter with a better plugin API (and I need plugins).

I go out of my way to enable "natural scrolling" on every device I use (it is possible on Windows!) because I've never been able to stand the opposite.

My Linear client gets stuck "syncing" all the time, completely blocking all interaction. I'd rather have loading spinners than getting, essentially, locked out of the whole app for 10 minutes.

Realistically, how will this affect Meta at all? Some people are pissed, nobody else cares, business as usual.

I do this on my OSS projects to automate semver bumps and it's amazing! At work, I also enforce "tags" (not git tags, just strings in the PR title) based on who cares about the change and then generate changelogs for the respective teams based on those "tags".

The question is not "if" they will lose their ethos but "how long will it take".

- When I have an example open, I can't type any commands.

- When I open an example, I expected to actually... see an example. I'm not gonna read the wall of text. I don't even understand what this is yet, that's why I tried to see an example.

And yet games like Subnautica 2 do similar things and nobody stops them because it’s in the EULA.

When done properly you don't even notice! It is very beneficial when needed. But, as we know, very awful when done improperly.

On the other hand, it's nice for the people receiving those paychecks (at least while they're still receiving them).

Right? I was seriously considering migrating everything in our company from GitHub to GitLab. Now I'm seriously considering self hosting our git instead.

I was always confused at why people claimed trusted publishing would make any difference to this kind of supply chain attack.

I, however, do look forward to a time when we can prompt our own TV shows. That second season that ruined your favorite show? Fix it. The second season that never happened? Create it. Of course AI needs to get better still for that to be bearable for many of us, but I'm still excited at the idea!

An emoji rendered for me but not any of the outline stuff, just a bare emoji.

Sometimes I wonder what we did to deserve Valve and how long it can possibly last.

Personally I much prefer Deno as it's also doing a lot more work to unify the backend and frontend JS APIs.

These brain chemical rewards apparently do not work on me, my (still young) kids provide no such rejuvenation. Luckily I'm a deep sleeper so I have no sleep deprivation problems.
