Just made myself a nice little footbath while I start writing another blog post about Node.js. I enjoy the simple pleasures i life.

I wrote a long post about @pnpm.io's "ignored build script" warnings, why they are there, and what to do about them.

I use git worktrees, or sometimes in other ways have the same code base checked out in two different places. Useful but confusing; sometimes I make some edits in /foo when I meant to make them in /bar.

Here's a cool one-liner to move changes over:

git -C /foo diff | git -C /bar apply

Good article by Clearer Thinking on binary thinking. I would like scientific articles to summarize their findings like: “this study aims to study the proposition X. Before conducting the study, we believed that p(X) = … After, we believe that p(X) is ….”

Dario Amodei has an important op-ed in the NYT today about the proposed 10-year moratorium on states regulating AI. The moratorium sounds reasonable at first - avoiding a patchwork of state laws - but it's actually quite dangerous given how fast AI is moving.

I always heard David Bowie sing “we’ve got five years, I pray that’s a lot” instead of “my brain hurts a lot”. Both are fitting.

Let's say I want to know programmatically (like, in a script) what the latest available version of some image published on Docker Hub is, matching some pattern. I would like to pin an as exact version as possible, but have (my own) tooling to help me upgrade. What would be a way to do that? #docker

Working on a rewrite of my blog – in Java.

Started off by doing a straight up port of the Jekyll blog. I used:

- the Liqp library to parse Liquid templates: github.com/bkiers/Liqp
- Flexmark to handle Markdown: github.com/vsch/flexmar...
- Javalin for serving things: javalin.io

I digged this post by @kettanaito.com. We use the RTL + jsdom approach at work, and I’ve been seeing several of these problems. I will suggest taking a look at this approach using vitest/browser instead.

I wonder how it affects test performance…
