fp-ts brought advanced #FunctionalProgramming to #TypeScript. Now a related project implementing an effect system for TypeScript (effect-ts) seems to have gotten a lot of VC money. Interesting... Docs look very polished, not sure how they will make money though.

This is super funny, Cybertrucks start rusting even in California weather, and the manual says that you should not wash it with hot water or in direct sunlight.

Imagine buying a car for 70k USD and watching it disintegrate because of rain

Are you a fan of , but not sure if you need to pick up the expansion ?

Take a read through my review below to see all the details.

@boardgamebreakdown I love but I have no one to play my physical copy with. 😅 So probably won’t be picking it up and instead wait until it is available on Board Game Area

Spoke at the Santiago de Compostela 🎒🐚 yesterday (in broken-ish Spanish, but the slides are in English) on going "From Web SQL to implemented in and backed by the Origin Private File System" (OPFS): https://goo.gle/devfest-santiago.

Even if you don't care about how we got there (that is, why Web SQL was deprecated), the SQLite and the OPFS parts are super exciting technologies well worth your attention—and they work in all modern browsers!

@tomayac Very cool. Is there a built-in way to make incremental backups of an in-browser database? Or would you need to dump (and upload or download) the whole database?

This morning I started a little exploratory project to see how viable (technically and user experience-wise) bringing my route planner from the iPhone to the Apple Watch would be.

I gotta say I'm kinda amazed how how well this works (especially on the Ultra). It works pretty well on the smaller watches but is a delight on the larger watches. It is a wonder what modern Apple Watches are capable of.

Also interesting was creating faux button tooltips with transient labels shown when pressed.

@_Davidsmith That looks great! What are you using for drawing? Last time I looked the only watchOS API I could find that works on watchOS was deprecated (UIGraphicsBeginImageContext).

It’s that time of the year, a new version is imminent and all the software ( @couchdb) wants testing on multiple architectures and configurations, so today was three-laptops day (trench coat not pictured).

@janl @couchdb Where did you get the Moonlander? Do you recommend it? I have used a Kinesis Freestyle 2 split keyboard for years, but I want to upgrade due to the lackluster typing experience.

@TheWarOnCars The answer is obvious. We need to be even more protective of kids and get them off the dangerous streets, back behind their iPads inside, where they are safe.

Full text search has been merged in main branch, and will be in the next (and final?) 4.2.0 beta 🎉

It is opt-in, so it will take some time to be filled with people content as they enable their profile to be indexed, but this was one of the most wanted Mastodon features for some time.

We plan to deploy it to mastodon.social and mastodon.online in the coming days to have a bit more feedback on it and see how it behaves in the wild.

Careful what you wish for!

For weeks Trump lawyers have been demanding, the Jan 6 insurrection trial is televised — fully aware that it would not be, as federal law prevents it.

But by constantly talking about it, Trump could give his MAGA crowd the impression, the state is trying to cover up a sham trial.

But today the Democrats have signed a document requesting from the Judicial Conference that the proceedings are televised.

Trump walked right into the trap — priceless!

bart,
@bart@floss.social avatar

@randahl But what are those signatures going to do if federal law prevents it?

"A few months ago, the programming C++ language claimed position 3 of the TIOBE index (at the expense of Java). But C++ has not finished its rise. C seems to be its next victim." 🔥

#C

It should be noted that the Scratch programming language scores higher on TIOBE than Swift, Rust, Kotlin, Objective-C, R, Scala, Lua, Dart and TypeScript.

We reached a new milestone in ensuring the openness of digital markets.

Last week, 7 companies notified us they qualify as 'Gatekeepers' under the Digital Market Act.

We will check their submission before designating them. They will have 6 months to comply with the and, among others, be unable to:

  • lock in users in their ecosystem;

  • treat their own products and services more favourably.
