Writing lots of JavaScript had me leaning fairly hard towards indenting using spaces rather than tabs.

However this post from a friend of mine, @zwyx , has pretty clearly changed my mind.

@rauschma Oh interesting I hadn't seen that proposal before, almost like RxJS functionality built directly into the language! Very neat!

Although I do wonder about coming across say `fn().map()`. Will it be obvious that we're dealing with an iterator? as opposed to an array.

In RxJS land they wrapped all the operators in `fn().pipe(map())` so it wasn't as big an issue.

Excited to dig more into the proposal soon.

Here is another quick write up about one of my past .

A kilterboard rock climbing app.

It was a ton of fun, from automating a virtual android device in the cloud to help extract data.

To reverse engineering a protocol and re-implementing it with .

Containers are **not** lightweight VMs.

@rauschma @nolan I'm not sure if I agree entirely, things like throwing regex at problems where number manipulation would cut it don't seem particularly harder?

Perhaps the recursion one there was a bit of a hit in code cleanliness.

I don't think we can just wave our hands and hope for a better compiler.

Sound heuristics for grabbing more efficient operations, when a profiler is showing a slow hot path, seems like something we should encourage?

"Speeding up the JavaScript ecosystem - one library at a time" by Marvin Hagemeister marvinh.dev/blog/speeding-up-j

I'll bet you could find a lot of little optimizations like these in common Node.js tools. I wonder how much of the speedup from various Rust/Go/etc replacements is just because nobody bothered to optimize the existing JS-based tools.

The most entertaining submission to the CMA has to be this short but sharp submission from Mike Padgett.

Thanks Mike.

@brunoph Try something like 11ty.

Feels like a breath of fresh air with how close to HTML and CSS you are.

To celebrate 1K followers here, something I have been wanting to figure out for a long time: a slippy #Mapbox map with an overlaid #D3 #SVG map synced to it: svelte.dev/repl/2578120142f44b

This means: Mapbox base layers and controls + all the D3 geo goodness like great circles, geoCircles and curved line interpolations!

Of course, built with #Svelte

Call it an obsession, but I love the GitHub contribution graph.

I wrote up a little script to replicate my companies non-Github repos to Github, while shipping no code to hopefully not freak them out.

@simon I gave it a try, knocked out a post of half the size in like 2 hours or so.

I guess I have something to strive for the next 20 years! 😅

If my design decisions had led to people coining an entirely new term “doomscrolling” to describe the sense of helplessness & despair they imparted, I would simply refrain from coming to a place where the same people have fled to escape said impacts and implying that they’re elitist
