Penguin of great renown.
The penguin revolution is nigh, only the feathered and the tuxedoed will be spared.
Except for seagulls, they can get fucked.

One coffee shop trend that I see internationally that I don’t see in the US and the UK is tiny cookies served with the coffee.
Lots of places make their own too and are super delicious.
I think this should be a thing everywhere, it’s really fun.

if you're ever confused about the origin of a state change in your @svelte.dev app, we just shipped a nice quality of life enhancement to the `$inspect(...)` rune (svelte.dev/docs/svelte/...) — it now automatically prints a stack trace. @pngwn.at goaded me into it

We owe a huge debt to Matias. His involvement has been instrumental not only in the success of Vite but also in nurturing the community.

I'm taking some time, and I'll explore new paths later on, so I've left my position at Bolt. I'm very grateful they empowered me to work on Vite over the past years. Thanks a ton to everyone in the Vite ecosystem for the wonderful journey. Cheers to Vite's bright future and even more collaboration!

I don’t know how I feel about this topic in general or how you actually square it. I don’t really believe in ‘cultural authenticity’. That’s often just another layer of performance or narrative added after the fact but I do believe in preventing cultural loss.

Bali is a strange place, the challenges that have come with a massive tourist industry have been well documented, but my main feeling is that is has something of an identity crisis and can be something of a theme park.

OpenTelemetry tracing is live in SvelteKit! Huge s/o to @stracke.tech for all the help along the way. SvelteKit can now emit OTEL spans for all of its serverside constructs. It also provides an instrumentation file to easily set up trace exports. svelte.dev/blog/sveltek...

OpenAI have released their new open source models!
One thing I really like about this release is that while they are only open weight, the model is not gated in any way (anyone can download it) and it has a permissive OSS license (apache 2).
Very refreshing.

One of the most soul destroying things about twitter was needing to finely craft your tweet thread (it had to be a thread) just to be visible to anyone.
We can debate the merits of bluesky but there is no denying the platform is more centred around actual users.
