Amazing talk as usual!
Been building a reasonably-sized SvelteKit app for the past month, and thoroughly enjoyed using remote functions.
Finally, building forms doesn't suck as much!

Finally, building forms doesn't suck as much!
A couple of weeks ago at @perfnow.nl I gave a talk called "Fine-grained everything". It's about @svelte.dev (obviously), and the new frontiers of framework-land, but it's also about some stubborn misconceptions in web performance circles

yeah leveling out an entire people with all types of illegal weapons in an illegal occupation by an illegal genocidal state is _very_ good use as the u.s sees it
and none of this would've been any different regardless of party
long live the resistance 🇵🇸

semver is great for libraries, but for end-user apps... it doesn't really map
guess i've been instinctively doing pride versioning for my apps lol
yet I still have an internal conflict about releases that *I* think are awesome, but that users would see as just another incremental update

Just realized that I'm not doing micro-blogging platforms justice when using @typefully.com, as I keep avoiding putting pictures in any thread posts aside from the root one just so it works well on LinkedIn...
Still, it's great for drafting once, then tailoring to each platform.

Of all Kotlin Multiplatform targets I'm targeting with the Font Viewer rewrite, Android is the most finicky to support, and it gets trickier the lower your minSdk is!
Take this example: creating a Font object out of a file, on desktop vs. Android. A thread🧵

First time needing to use an `unsafe` API in Rust!
This one concerns IO-safety, not memory-safety, and I use it to pass a file descriptor to an Android Uri from the Kotlin side and read it as a File from the Rust side.

I think one of Circuit's most powerful feature whose potential I haven't realized until recently is nested presenters.
Once you realize how easy they are to use, every component can be its own "screen" with a presenter, state holder, and events. It simplifies everything ✨️

It's finally happening!
Took a while (and absolutely tanked the plugin's reviews), but finally we'll get to enjoy some of the same benefits our macOS brethren have had for a while now.

Linux & Windows support (with some functionality disabled) : KMT-789
If our plugin is installed on Linux and Windows, then we cannot provide some functionality related to iOS support (because Xcode is not present). We need to do that in a way that other components will remain active, such as: - wizards - desktop preview Some components (such as KDoctor/pre-flight checks) need to be redesigned. Such components will be just disabled for now.…

Font Viewer's codebase is so messy it's just not possible for me to work with anymore 😭
Imported a lot of crap since I started the app in Java back in 2020 (as a newbie), and carried most of it through a very rushed Kotlin rewrite later on.
Time for another rewrite I guess!

Feels a lot cleaner and more focused with less fluff about targets and whatnot!

To everyone who used Firebender and/or JetBrains AI/Junie, what's your experience with them?
Thus far I've only used JetBrains' own AI autocomplete, almost never using Junie (it was a bit 'slow' in my experiments).
And GitHub Copilot on VS Code when I use it.

Let me take you on a visual introduction to what big O notation is in my new blog post: samwho.dev/big-o.
With big O notation you can better understand how algorithms will perform in practice, finding orders of magnitude improvements often with very simple changes to your code.
