Do I understand correctly that there is now a dispute within the administration about whether this "peace plan" was written by Russians or Americans?

Bruno is great. No cloud account nonsense like Postman, and the linux client scales UI properly unlike Hoppscotch (not their fault, Tauri is a mess). Fully offline, just check collections into Git next to the stuff you're testing. Good stuff! 🔥

I wonder how many in the West are even aware that China has an orbital station.
China is preparing to launch an uncrewed Shenzhou spacecraft as its astronauts shuffle missions following damage to the Shenzhou-20 spacecraft, while the Tiangong station prepares to greet its first international visitor in 2026.

Working in a codebase that keeps a separate CSS file for every component file, and I forgot how annoying this was. Have to file switch constantly, there are unused classes everywhere, import order matters.
We don't appreciate how many problems tools like Tailwind or CSS-in-JS solved.

Another US attempt to sell out Ukraine. What is this, the fifth? Sixth? I've lost count.
According to Reuters, the United States has sent a signal to Volodymyr Zelensky that Ukraine must accept the drafted framework agreement to end the war with Russia.

All I have to say about Sonder is that it had some amazing people working for it (especially the city teams), and unbelievably toxic and pretentious leadership. The only time I left a company specifically because of leadership.
Sonder, a short-term rental and boutique hotel company that had a licensing deal with Marriott, abruptly went out of business, stranding guests worldwide who were informed overnight that their stays had been terminated.

I never knew this until now, but it should always have been RadScript.
At JsConf.jp Allen tells the story about the alternative names that were considered for JavaScript.
It could have been Cool or Rad, but ultimately became ECMA.

My Keychron K1 is on its last legs, so I guess it's time to resurrect the DYI split keyboard project I've been procrastinating on for at least three years.

I propose we immediately redirect all funds going into building AI datacenters towards research into making lettuce last longer than 2 days in the fridge.

If the Habs keep playing this well, I might get pulled into watching hockey again... 🙃
Sticking to my decade-old rule of skipping the first half of the season though.

Nix sparks so much joy ❤️ Spent a couple of hours cleaning up and reorganizing NixOS and HM files this morning, in prep to spin up some homelab nodes, and running that nixos-rebuild/home-manager switch at the end feels soooo good.

The new YouTube player contols UI is soooo laggy. YT's commitment to making their web app worse with each passing day is commendable.

My Pixel 6 Pro turned just 4 years. Still chugging along with no issues. Hoping to squeeze another year out of it, at least 🤞

Congrats to @manishearth.bsky.social on unflagging TC39 Stage 3 Temporal in V8 today. Heading for Chrome 144 🎉
By many metrics this new date-time API is the single biggest change to JS ever 🔥

I suspect there is a big overlap between those most vocally against "dislikes" and the brigaders and trolls. On one hand, it will be great to have _something_ to push back against those people. On the other, maybe some % of them will just leave a "dislike" instead of posting.
Win-win.

I wish I could laugh at this, but the scale of this bubble is enough to tank people's retirements, savings, and the entire US economy. This is going to be so much worse than the 2008 financial crisis.
quite literally everything i hear about the economics of this feels insane, especially given the big issue of the tools not doing what boosters say they will do. so many details make me feel very not good!
