Old Chap, father of Leo, and spending most of my time swearing at code...
Not even a month after the whole AWS US-EAST-1 fiasco, and now the whole @cloudflare.social global network is down?

Dude got caught in a lie....

One of the biggest annoyances of Liquid Glass on macOS is still *NOT* fixed in 26.1...

Dear Apple…

Who thought that having a gigantic “stop” button (as big as and so annoyingly close to the “snooze” one) in your new iOS 26 release, as opposed to the tiny, far-away one of iOS 18, was a great idea?

Yours truly,

And the next generation connected with the past!

Leo is a big Mario fan, and it was the first time he had his hands on the original NES (he played emulated few times, but nothing beats the real deal)

They also had the original Donkey Kong game, where Mario appeared for the very first time!

And my first PC (“the” PC)

They also had the tape drive (obviously misplaced in the C64 exhibit)

I dragged the kid to the Computerspielemuseum here in Berlin today, and reconnected with my first love, from 43 years ago (almost to the day, it was my Christmas present)…

I have to admit, I got a bit emotional!

Breakfast time was spent over “why is it so hot in Egypt and so cold in Berlin”… And we’re 15 minutes late for kindergarten!

I gotta learn more about that “god” stuff, could come handy 😝

When I run "tsc" on this little sucker here is what I get in the resulting ".d.ts".

My parser is now typed as "Parser<Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>>" basically meaning that whoever uses it, must ALSO be on TypeScript 5.7.

Otherwise they'll get a nice "TS(2315): Type 'Uint8Array' is not generic."

Fridays are "update days" (basically, cronned update of all dependencies, and a global rebuild of world at juit.com).

This week we hit the big cycle with @typescriptlang.org 5.7, and found a nasty little bug around the fact that typed arrays are now generic...

Reminder to self: Typescript compilation seems slow? Look at TSC tracing here:

github.com/microsoft/Ty...

It's an easy:

tsc --generateTrace ./tsc-trace
npx '@typescript/analyze-trace' ./tsc-trace

And it works also with "vue-tsc" for @vuejs.org

@typescriptlang.org #performance #tsc #typescript

@jay.bsky.team ... can we have a whale? (or a wandering albatross, ...or a pterodactyl) 😍

And since we are on the subject, may I also present you her favorite subjugate, “Arno”, our 6 y/o, 43 kgs labby, who could just shove her around as he pleases, but lives in constant fear of her nonsensical whims!

Wait… Cat pictures are a requirement for BlueSky? Ok, therefore I present you “Nazuna” our 14 y/o Japanese “queen” of the house. Born in Chiba in 2010 as a stray, 3kg (tiny) she has been with me through Japan, Italy and Berlin…

Six years ago, pretty much down to the minute, I was in a maternity ward waiting to meet this little fellow… Happy 6th birthday, spider monkey!
