So far, I've had a lot more luck getting LLMs to review and help me fix issues with my code than generate or fix code. GitHub Copilot specifically sometimes generates suggestions I like, but it can also be very insistent when I know I don't want it to suggest something. So, it's kind of a wash.

@feross.bsky.social Hey Feross! Heard you talk about Socket Firewall on a podcast and was about to install it when I noticed that it only scores a 77% on supply chain security and quality on socket.dev. Also, the package was created 8 years ago but you said it was new. Should I be worried?

@pzuraq.bsky.social Enjoyed learning about Signalium and our chat about how it compares to atoms/Jotai. Excited to learn more about it.

One really annoying habit of Copilot autofill in VSCode is when I delete the thing it recently auto-filled, and as soon as I lift my finger up from the Delete key, it re-suggests the thing I just deleted. Then I have to escape out of it. Sometimes twice. I hoped the UX would be more mature by now.

@thebodyserve.bsky.social, re Petra Kvitova reaching peaks of play that have not been surpassed, I’m thinking Keys at Australia this year should be in the conversation. Not to take anything away from PK!

Welp, I've been giving Arc Browser for Windows the old college try for a while now, but it's never really stopped being glitchy, and now The Browser Company has deprecated it, so I think the time has come to go back to Brave, but this time, with the "Use vertical tabs" option turned on.

One of the most amazing stats of the epic 5-set French Open final was that Sinner won 193 points and Alcaraz won 192. 385 points played and the loser wins a single point more than the winner. It’s representative of how close this match was. Alcaraz was literally millimeters away from losing the 4th.

@danshappir.bsky.social, Hey Dan, enjoyed the JS to TS conversion episode of JSJ, but I disagree with your choice of linter. I’ve been migrating all my projects over to Biome, and I find infinitely easier to configure. It’s also faster.

Wow, @twilio.bsky.social (SendGrid) ditched its free plan with only 60 days notice and claims this is ample warning. It’s not when you maintain web apps in your free time.
Anyway, I think I’ll move the non-profit web app I maintain over to SMTP2GO. Hopefully, it will stay free. 🙏

@podsaveamerica.crooked.com TY so much for “Why are Fundraising Texts SO annoying?”!!!
I admit, I thought the whole texting nightmare was ActBlue’s fault, but now I know better. That said, a lot of people don’t, so I think it’s on ActBlue to solve this. Perception > reality.

Hey Carl and Richard @dotnetrocks.bsky.social, regarding your discussion with Steve Smith about how DRY can sometimes backfire, I think a better guideline is “maintain a single source of truth”. It’s often okay to repeat code, but it’s not so okay to repeat things that should be consistent.

@maddow.msnbc.com Your segment on airplane incidents was riveting but left me wanting more. How does the rate of incidents since Trump 2 compare to normal? Is there evidence of a *causal* relationship between bad leadership and incidents?

Hey @leerob.com, I am using git integration with a NextJS project in a private GitHub repo. When I push to Master (the only branch), Vercel is simply not notified. This has worked for years and suddenly stopped. No change in any settings. Tried all troubleshooting steps but to no avail. Any advice?🙏

This literally cannot be done with JavaScript:
Check whether a keyboard key has been pressed or released while the browser's right-click context menu is open.
My app needs to keep track of key states, and I can't disable the browser context menu.
What do you advise, @w3c.bsky.social?

Great post!
To me, the type-safety drawback is not as significant as the "relying on strings that don't autocomplete and are not compile-time checked" drawback. But that's not a drawback of CSS variables per se, it's a drawback of CSS in general (class names and IDs suffer from the same problem).

The combination of CSS variables and media queries is so powerful. I share another example in this blog post: www.joshwcomeau.com/css/css-vari...

If you’re about to head off somewhere with a Windows laptop, do not do “update and shut down” on Windows. I’m 30 minutes in, and it’s still. not. done. The Windows update part is massive, and it also did a BIOS refresh at some point. I wish there had been a warning.
