Feels so smooth 🥰
Added auto splitting from the window edges, ironed out some bugs with intersection dragging and drag events.

*accidentally writes a game engine*
I was just fooling around with #ziglang, just trying to write a simple stl viewer, I swear.
I did not think this would be so similar.

Have started to dabble with comptime in #ziglang. This is amazing. I can't quite put into words just how nice it feels. It's like someone put all the ridiculous type magic you do in typescript with generics IN the function body. Reads so nice.

Fuck, I'm really getting into zig. Help. Must finish other projects first.
Also the naming of some of the libs is killing me : zbgfx, zglfw. Please stop mashing your keyboard (yes I know the z is for zig). I cannot deal with 4+ letter acronyms.

🥳 Conditional Return Types!!!!! 👏👏👏 No more crafting a perfectly typed function only to have to cast the return type in the implementation!
We just released the beta for TypeScript 5.8! This release brings support for Node.js' require(ESM), smarter/safer checks for functions using advanced types, a few great optimizations for editor scenarios, and more. Give it a try!

This looks amazing! Will the editing part be open source? Would love to integrate this into my app instead of having a latex block raw+preview block.

Pretty metadata inputs. Done with the basic ones + added random generation for testing.. More advanced + metadata type editor soon.

✨ I've built a tiny, beautiful terminal tool to check package stats. No setup needed, just run:
$ npx pkg-stats <package>
Let me know what you think!

Had a usecase for this a while back. I have to remember what it was. Was very sad I couldn't get the values as numbers in calc.

attr() is getting an upgrade!
Starting in Chrome 133 (stable rollout happening this month), you'll be able to access attributes in CSS as typed values beyond strings.

I just realized, when my pc is borked, I can just throw the logs at an LLM and it can sift through that mess real quick.

Am so tired of LLMs being like are you sure you want to do that? Yes jesus, give a warning, but DO THE THING. Do local or maybe less censored models also suffer from this? Can they be trained out of it? I hate it.

My two new favorite friends. This makes it way nicer to work in a monorepos in neovim. Need to refactor into proper plugin.
![M.getWorkspaceRoot = function()
local res = LazyVim.root.detect({
spec = { "pnpm-workspace.yaml" },
all = true,
})
if (res[1]) then
return res[1].paths[1]
end
return LazyVim.root.get()
end
M.getClosestProject = function()
local res = LazyVim.root.detect()
for i, v in ipairs(res) do
if type(v) == "table" and v.spec[1] ~= "pnpm-workspace.yaml" then
return v.paths[1]
end
end
return LazyVim.root.get()

This looks amazing. I know nothing about shaders, they've been on my to-learn list. This really makes me want to learn more.

Have had to deviate my plans for today to implement dev only auth mocking. Was easier than I thought because I implemented most of the auth logic, but I'm surprised there's so little info on doing this. You'd think it'd be quite a common thing to need to do. Is there a better way?

Gotta update my utils.
if you have an list of values you need turned into a sentence, you can use Intl.ListFormat() to clearly and succinctly create human-readable lists instead of the classic array function template strategies

🎉👏 Can't wait to try!
And they've added docs how to do writes through the db! Have been holding off on implementing the sync for my app for this.
Love the detailed examples on potential write patterns and the freedom to do it however you want.

I don't need the ai to write commit messages, but can it just like split up my changes into small commits when I get out of control or I haven't linted in ages and then suddenly have hundreds of lint changes mixed in with my real changes. Thanks.

Finished adding SQL support to my little customizable query parser. SQL is all nice until you get to stuff like `(json->'array') @> '["a"]'::jsonb` 🤮 Absolutely cursed. The only good thing was drizzle makes it super easy to escape user input with prepared statements and it's magic sql function.
