This is my favourite performance-enhancing JS feature ⚡ It allows ES modules to achieve laziness similar to inline require() in CJS modules, and adds safe handling of Top-Level Await 👍 It's an easy way to speed up existing codebases without introducing the async virality of dynamic import() 🦠

Well, I implemented a Merkle PATRICIA Trie in SQLite. No, not on top of SQLite. In SQLite. WITH RECURSIVE plus WITHOUT ROWID plus a small app-defined function. Might be time to stop. (This is for a very cool verifiable transparency log indexing thing.)

Can’t think of a higher compliment to @gruber.foo and his work than Apple refusing to show up for his annual live sit down interview around WWDC. One thing they forget is that bloggers existed long before anyone had access to execs, and can exist long after. daringfireball.net/linked/2025/...

Getting started with a new iPad or iPhone has too many dialogs and too many approvals. The same problem with installing some apps these days. It is easier if you already have an account, etc, but if you just want to create a new one, the experience is horrible, worse than filling tax forms.

I just posted a follow-up to my “Apple Turnover” article: “Apple Turnaround” It has a similar title, but it’s a whole new article. Summary: Apple Turnover: Why I think Apple needs new leadership. Apple Turnaround: What should that new leadership do differently? hypercritical.co/2025/05/20/a...

Guess what — you can now self-publish your apps on AltStore PAL completely FREE! Just connect your Apple Developer account with PAL and make an AltStore source. Then you can distribute notarized apps by simply uploading them to your web server like the good ol’ days 👌

There might be room for another validation library for TypeScript ecosystem. One that generates the validator code to embed. Consider this trick and pony show in the TRPC library: github.com/trpc/trpc/bl... Big libraries might not want to include Zod/Valibot dependency, so they roll their own?

I haven’t watched Andor, is it a show about Boolean logic

submitted 25 days ago • 28 comments

Annoying: let { foo } = "bar" let { foo } = 0 let { foo } = false let { foo } = null let { foo } = undefined With string, number and boolean it doesn't throw error, but with null and undefined it throws error. Yeah, I kind of understand as they are 'objects', but this is annoying.

Why does Windows let you set your location, but then browsers don't use that location? Even Microsoft's own Edge does not use that location. Very annoying if you use a desktop as then mapping sites guess your location by IP and it's always totally wrong.

Looking back, Google's change from UA-12341234 codes to GA-12341234 is one of the most useless code changes in history. Why? Yeah, by changing code they got everyone to agree to new terms, but couldn't they simply show a dialog and OK button instead of making entire world to scramble for new code.

I wrote much of the GPU-driven rendering code for this release. In general I'm really happy with the rendering performance of the engine now. Great to see this finally out!

Training data for the Bluetooth protocol in Gemini and ChatGPT is really rough. It gets some details wrong, some badly wrong. Then, if I paste sections from the Bluetooth specification, it starts to argue that the specification is wrong, adamantly.

In response to U.S. tariffs, the EU is considering to put levy on the advertising revenues of digital services. Specifically - to go after Big Tech. You could of course imagine much more options, like taxing linking, citing, data processing, etc. Taxing U.S. services is an option
