I've had a soft spot for CSS-Tricks for over a decade. I grew up on it in my early career.

That said, it's a really tough time both for ad-driven online media (as more information is summarized by bots and users never see the ads), and for manual coding materials. I wish the new owner all the best, but boy, this seems like an uphill climb.

Oof.

The writing had been on the wall though, ever since Bun's rapid success with their alternate strategy. Deno quickly started removing its opinionated stances and playing catch-up on Node compatibility.

I loved their original vision, and I'm glad they tried. They had some really cool ideas for a better world of JavaScript, and I do think they placed some pressure on Node and made it better in the process. I'm also glad they're getting a buyout for their hard effort, even though it's probably more about hiring a team of skilled JS runtime engineers than about acquiring the technology.

RIP Deno

To my understanding the M1 and M2 have very functional GPU drivers. I don't know about the other specifics you asked

The entire administration has been operating on empty threats (see Brendan Carr's FCC speech policing). But most companies don't call them out on it, they just roll over

I didn't even see it was a brand blog. Sheesh

What a weird hill to die on

One thing people have pointed out is that well-specified (even if huge and tedious) projects are an ideal fit for AI, because the loop can be fully closed and it can test and verify the artifact by itself with certainty. Someone was saying they had it generate a rudimentary JS engine because the available test suite is so comprehensive

Not to invalidate this! But it's toward the "well-suited for AI" end of the spectrum

Very funny for this to come from the Warhammer studio, specifically

std::simd is so nice and easy to use, even as someone who's never done SIMD before. I wonder why it's stuck as nightly-only

I had something similar happen after sleeping a few times with my first-gen airpods pro. I think something must have gotten filled with earwax or something, because the noise cancelling got more and more broken and had more sudden sharp sounds until they were unusable

But since then I've had two pairs of airpods pro 2 and bought the 3s on the first day, and I've had no such issues with any of them, including sleeping, and flying twice with the 3's so far. YMMV

Super cool! I assume it plays nice with rust-analyzer?
