Everyone should go tell TransLink that they definitely need to run bus service to Golden Ears Park: https://translinklistens.ca/new-routes-to-parks

TransLink is proposing four new seasonal bus routes to popular regional outdoor destinations, made possible through the 2025 Investment Plan. The new routes are designed to make nature more accessible with direct, seasonal transit connections, while reducing congestion

It's the annual #lumiereyvr public art festival in #vancouver with a bunch of great light-based and interactive art pieces. The laser and mirrors show on the Robson side of the art gallery is definitely a highlight!

Every so often I get an email notification from some starred bug report about TC39 decorators, and I peek at what's going on, and it seems like the current situation is that it's fully standardized but all 3 browsers went "This is complicated and we don't feel like implementing it" 😞 […]

A macOS system update breaking all of my Docker containers was not how I expected (or particularly wanted) my day to start, but I guess I'm rebuilding all my dev environments for the rest of the morning before I can get any useful work done.

Was at a local tech talks thing today that I'd attended many times pre-pandemic and really enjoyed, and about 80% of the talks were about AI and a bunch of the ones that weren't explicitly about AI turned into discussions about AI. I've seen this with conferences and meetup groups that I used to […]

Past me made some decisions around database join table design that confidently assumed uniqueness of compound keys, foreign keys, non-nulls and all that good stuff.
Current me has to deal with the case of "when a thing is removed, we need to keep the join record but null out one identifier for […]

Install kernel updates, reboot computer, discover that some package is now causing gnome-shell to crash due to undefined JavaScript functions being called by the weather extension, rendering the entire GUI system unusable

Feels like Xcode 26 beta isn't showing me deprecation warnings for things that I can see in the headers have been marked as deprecated, which is distressing when I am trying to confirm that an upcoming major version of a framework won't have a tonne of deprecation warnings on an imminent major […]

Didn't expect coding for Wayland to be worse than coding for X11, but somehow here we are. It's almost impressive that they managed to make an API that is more inconvenient than one designed in the 80s with code samples all dating back to that era and poor documentation.

On the XSLT topic, there were some proposals (which seemed to mostly be ignored) to use XSLT as part of fully declarative web component templating since it's already built-in to the browser and doesn't add any new dependencies.
The syntax is awkward, and it's not clear exactly how data-binding […]

Something that would be very helpful would be if MDN had a standard table on the page for each type of event that indicated whether it bubbled. It's surprisingly difficult to verify even when digging back into the HTML spec to try to find confirmation.
