Just released Ordinality — a framework-agnostic migration tool for Browser, Node, and Deno.

We use it in production on both backend and frontend.

Ordinality works with any database — IndexedDB, SQL, state files, or anything else.

I just read email from NPM "New TOTP 2FA configurations disabled (existing TOTP still works)".

It looks NPM will disable TOTP and force package authors to use WebAuthn/passkeys.

Business as usual. Spot an opportunity to hype it up and cash in.

Linguist is highly customizable.

In recent update has been added an option to control what elements must not be translated.

User now can describe elements to ignore as CSS selectors and Linguist will skip translation on anything that match the query.

Linguist made it to the Top 3 extensions in the Chrome Web Store.

Try it: linguister.io

It is the only in-browser translation solution that respects your privacy.

Roasting post about Matrix - probably the most disappointing project claiming to be a "privacy-focused messenger," but actually a scam targeting naive people.

Just publish NPM package `langstats` that provides stats with speakers count and countries list where language is used.

Basically, that's a small dataset i maintain for our products purposes.

Will be useful for those who work on internationalization, to prioritize work.

Actually problem have widely affects, out of "Copilot" scope

GitHub joins to the party.
It looks this month gives a lot of fun for sys ops of BigTech.

The HTTP QUERY Method draft, that defines a new HTTP method, QUERY, as a safe, idempotent request method that supports body payload and may be safely cached.

Reality is porcelain.

NPM is down, and all projects who had not set NPM proxy with cache is blocked for development. CI is in stuck, deployments is delayed, etc.

Huh, that's quite original way to tell us about malware in a blog post on platform that requires registration and send spam to its clients.

Digital world are difficult.

Every time I hear something about "AI will replace us", I always remember how CGI and 3D games is looked impressive and "photo realistic" in 2004 and how ridiculous they looks today.

Some donation forms look like the project doesn't really want to be paid.

Found a "Magnitude" on this week, it looks interesting.

That is a Playwright where you write a declarative AI prompts in test files instead of selectors and expected states assertions.

There are some problems, but that approach could replace manual QA on small projects.

Clever 0-click attack against CDN to figure out user location by cache-hit status on physically closest server.

Especially interesting section with companies positions about the problem. No surprises there.

First step to makes stronger is admit your weakness and find workarounds

Most of programmers is not ready to admit the fact that humans quite weak as physically as intellectually

However i never seen builders who prefer manually move a stone blocks rather use machines
