I went to a Looking for Growth event. It was tragic, self-contradictory, and hopeful.

The most important bit wasn't the speeches, which were a mixed bag. It was what wasn't said, and it'd be impossible to tell without being there.

That's from her column arguing that smartphones must be 16+ btw, ending with this completely sane and considered rhetorical question

Unsurprisingly she had a pretty different take back in 2023

Or consider that the current scheme is in line with the express wishes of the Ukrainian government, since the country will still need to rebuild after the war

It's a wicked problem with ugly trade offs, but thanks to the Guardian their readers will know less than before reading the article

Consider this: normally, if you visit the country you fled after being granted asylum, you can lose the status since it indicates that the country is not dangerous to you anymore. Here's the relevant guidance

Do you think this should apply here too, or is this a different situation

There's so much anxiety in political spaces I'm in re: Reform

But here's what Labour should do

One might ask, "but what about tree-sitter"? It's very nice, but requiring a few megabytes *per language* is often unfeasible. 83 megabytes of generated C code to parse SQL!

VSCode just ships a WASM compiled binary of that library because JS regexps won't do

Oh and the Japanese person got fed up with open source a few days back and archived the repo

There is no spec for that machine, it's "whatever textmate (or vscode) does"

Second level is the regex engine, Oniguruma. Literally this meme except the person is Japanese

The engine has so many esoteric features you can't use any other regex engine but this one

Most major IDEs run a grossly underspecified two-level virtual machine to highlight your code

First level is the language grammar. Looks like innocent JSON but those includes are more like function calls

You have no idea how cursed syntax highlighting is

@fasterthanli.me bug report

I skimmed the meta tags quickly and didn't find any obvious issues, so it might be on Kagi's side, and it's purely JFYI

This is the best javascript library you could find today

Those logos next to pricing tiers are a very neat detail
