Huh polyfill.io got sold. Probably advisable to make sure your sites are not using it.

Genuinely curious: what’s the point in developer advocacy or developer relations work if the parent company requires radio silence during periods of extreme criticism, facing backlash for the company’s direction and decisions?

Shouldn’t this be the moment in which your team are most useful?

@cwilcox808 @cferdinandi @zachleat I don't necessarily think that being vocal or not is bad or good - it depends. My goal for our teams first and formost is to focus on listening and understanding what's going on and direct that internally. Being public with criticism might win points publicly but rarely enables you to secure change internally.

@cwilcox808 @cferdinandi @zachleat that's not saying that we get it right either ..

There's so much spam across mastodon servers now. Incredible:( even blocking domains isn't really slowing it down

@rauschma yeah :(

@alsutton mentions.

@voxpelli @rauschma it's coming in as mentions from users on other servers to a couple of users. I swear it's to do with unmatched servers from the recent security exploits (timing seems to match).

Would be neat to have a spam like filter for inbound messages

node js question - why when running npx [some bin] from a folder somewhere inside another nodejs project set the process.cwd() to the project directory root and not the actual directory I am in?

I felt ill during the night, passed out in the bathroom, and hit my head. Only Scoob hearing the gurgling noises stopped me from choking on my own 🤮. That sounds like a rock and roll way to go, but now I have an almighty headache.

Does anyone know how to test an npm init create-<initializer> locally without it defaulting to npm registry?

paul,
@paul@status.kinlan.me avatar

@developit I think there is a bug in npm-cli.. If I use -w to set a workspace all manner of things break... I suspect I'm holding it wrong now.

Changes to BFCache behavior with extension message ports

Chrome is making changes to its back/forward cache (BFCache) that may impact extensions using message ports. This could affect communication between extension background pages and content scripts. I'll be keeping an eye on any potential impacts to extension developers. As always, please file bugs for any issues you encounter so the Chrome team can take a look.

New in Chrome 123 - Support for using the align-content property in block and table layouts without needing a flex or grid container.

Chrome is extending the deprecation trial for SharedArrayBuffer on desktop to Chrome 124. This gives more time for developers relying on SharedArrayBuffer and site isolation to enable cross-origin isolation, as Chrome introduces new options to relax cross-origin isolation requirements. These options include COEP credentialless, iframe credentialless, and COOP restrict-properties. The extended trial exempts websites from the SharedArrayBuffer restrictions.

Check out this article on managing third-party libraries in Next.js. The @next/third-parties library provides a way to optimize loading of popular third-party resources like analytics and ads. This can help improve performance. As web developers, we need to balance adopting useful third-party tools with keeping sites fast. This library seems like a handy way to get the best of both worlds when building Next.js apps.
