This is a really nice new Cloudflare feature: on-the-fly markdown conversion. Tools like Claude Code send an "Accept: text/markdown" header when making web requests. If you enable this it, it will send these agents a markdown version of your page instead of the full HTML. Really good for docs.
Introducing Markdown for Agents
Cloudflare's network supports real-time content conversion to markdown at the source.

about freaking time! So excited
TypeScript excitement 😉

Congrats to Renegade334 on landing support for @tc39.es "Upsert" in upstream TypeScript. Heading for TS 6.0 Beta next week 🎉

let map = new Map();
map.getOrInsert(key, defaultVal);

It sets a default value on a map key with no overwriting.

this @tracyalloway.bsky.social @weisenthal.bsky.social Odd Lots piece with @heidirediker.bsky.social is fantastic

Interesting that Tracy mentioned about their Dan Wang
interview, necessity & central planning have some advantages. Biogas is another anecdote

I switched to Purelymail yesterday on a whim (from my previous self-hosted set up) and so far so good. Much easier than I expected, only took about 30 mins.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

From the interview he comes across as such the most extreme pragmatist. No holy cows for Anders. Zero attachment to past work, just a better perspective on future

DuckDB now supports reading from and writing to the Vortex file format! The DuckDB Labs and Spiral teams have worked together to make Vortex available as a core extension in DuckDB.

We gave it a test drive, and it performed very well. Read the full article to learn more lnkd.in/eZfGzPiZ

Would it be ok if we call unqualified people using llms...AI agents?
"Our reason for the strict AI policy is not due to an anti-AI stance, but instead due to the number of highly unqualified people using AI. It's the people, not the tools, that are the problem."

I love the idea of my JBL Link display cos it has awesome sound and the voice interaction features from google home...but I absolutely hate how the device gets worse over time. As a result been thinking through and prototyping a simpler solution for past few years... Hate-driven development
