I just released v3 of my themes manager for the Alacritty terminal. You can now download themes easily and there's a couple other nice QoL changes!
Works on Linux, mac and Windows + you don't even need Node.js or Deno to run it.

I finally cracked embedded formatting in @biomejs.dev !
Soon we'll be able to land proper formatting for HTML, Vue, Svelte and Astro.
Angular requires some more plumbing, but we're there.

v good thread to show to your cis people who don’t understand the kafkaesque web of insane bureaucratic nonsense that british trans people have been trapped in for decades
I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset.
In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia.
In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

i don't resent llms but this is real
part of my resentment towards LLMs is to do with them crowding out anything else we could be talking about. there are so many things I could be reading to get better at my craft but I'm presented with "you should actually get worse at it on purpose because nothing matters any more"

There was a talk someone once gave at work that discussed how to speak to get people people to listen. She said most people speak like an upside down triangle, meandering to get to the point. Turn it right side up, start with the point, THEN people will listen to the reasoning. Thought that was nice

We got TS in Node by default before GTA 6
Node.js 22.18.0 is out and enables type stripping by default – that’s right, Node.js LTS can now run TypeScript files. Shout out to @marcoippolito.dev for championing that effort! Download links and full changelog available at nodejs.org/en/blog/rele...

If you've never tried pnpm, try it today.
It's lightyears ahead of other package managers.
P.S. Bun might also be cool. Didn't try it yet. Thank you.
