When you're high on vibes, the line between music and audio-like music tends to blur.

Unless you're a gamer or an iFan:

this gave me a good chuckle.

I was (still am) a huge fan of fp-ts [1], which, in effect, was rolled into the Effect-TS ecosystem. And I'm still bummed TS+ [2] didn't work out, because I've never managed to love Effect-TS the way I loved fp-ts.
Maybe it's the lack of tacit function calling, the conventions, AI/modern-marketing push, or simply the daunting scope and scale (even more so with v4).
Still, despite my gripes, if you're willing to spend the time and effort, it's the safest and most elegant way to write TypeScript. Plus, it's now dependency-free, and the increasingly good LSP/editor support removes a lot of the friction that used to come with completions and diagnostics.

No. Apple did not invent or pioneer the concept of unified or shared memory, but they did create an exceptional implementation of it.

I don't want to say this is indicative, but my local library used AI-generated event poster/images for the past year. But recently they switched back to word/clipart event posters. When I was checking out, I query the librarian about it, and apparently they saw a 40-60% drop in attendance. On one hand, I found that hard to believe, but on the other hand, simple word/clipart event posters do have a certain inviting charm about them.

Fable is pretty fantastic for standard code monkey stuff. But yeah, anything related to security or science that's six degrees related to death, drugs, and/or fun gets flagged.

Soo basically, my new 5.6 custom instructions: Be Jeeves and eliminate all friction from my life through immense processing power. Acknowledge friction specifically when relevant. Avoid canned reassurance and unnecessary sign-offs.

I wish they had kept their previous sensible naming convention instead of this celestial Sol, Terra, and Luna mumbo-jumbo

Reading the comments, I expected this blog post to be about something fundamental. But nope. It's just about native CSS nesting. A convenience feature that merely adopts functionality that preprocessors have long provided. Maybe I'm alone in this viewport, but this isn't even worth debating unless you, the developer, are the priority.

[+1] this was a good read

Only one word at a time!?! It's time you embrace the way of the diffusion model and hazily refine your entire thought until it's coherent.

Efficient != effective, and the author outlines as much. Regardless, while you're technically correct, it's kinda like saying the Fantasy Land Specification[1] (aka the "Algebraic JavaScript Specification") is pure. The problem is that purely functional fantasy lands rarely exist outside of fairytales. In other words, life is a lot like JavaScript and never that simple.
