I am thinking that old content posting are going useless, and I need to create something new.

What do you like from the content which I post, repost or publish on other my channels (@lostinwiki, @linguopunk)?

In Spain, they don't fear Friday the 13th.

Here they are afraid of Tuesdays (because martes, the day of the war god Mars) and are therefore more afraid Tuesday the 13th.

In his talk at DevFest Berlin about MathML, @pepelsbey inserted a slide that it’s not about Machine Learning (but about Markup Language).

And someone came out at that moment.

The person actually went to the bathroom at a very bad time.

Apple continues to help Putin.

They are removing VPNs from AppStore, anti-war songs and now they started to hide anti-Putin podcasts for Russian users.

Please, stop buying Apple devices.

In contrast with Next.js, the new Rails release really looks like an experiment with new ideas:
— No frontend assets build
— SQLite because SSD solves a lot of problems
— No cloud’s vendor lock-in

Where Framework 13 @frameworkcomputer modular laptop is better than the MacBook ↓

Of course, there are many reverse advantages of the MacBook, but everyone already knows about them, and I want more diversity in the laptop market.

1. Framework has a 3×2 aspect ratio screen, compared to 19×10 on the MacBook.

3×2 is better for developers and people working with text. You will have more lines visible on the screen vertically.

Apple Music banned Russian anti-war song in Russia. Of course, iTunes bans VPNs in Russia too.

When Western businesses need to make money with the Russian government, their support for Ukraine ends very quickly.

How Apple is helping the Chinese and Russian regimes is one of the reasons why I am happy to not use MacOS.

Of course, animations in Linux are a little less polished, but they are less important than my principles.

There is amazing `pnpm deploy` command in @pnpm.

It copies your project (with monorepo support) to dist/ removing devDependencies to reduce security risks. Then you copy dist/ to Docker image.

pnpm.io/cli/deploy

Here is how I use it:

This is why I love pnpm so much—they really think how real team will use it.

It has a great set of built-in commands together with the best monorepo support.

@sitnik_en @pnpm TIL! This is a very useful feature, thanks for sharing this 🔥

I like for many new ideas can be found in Local First community even if you are not making classic Local First app (but remember that Local First is a spectrum).

For instance, there is amazing Zero sync engine from Replicache useful for classic webapp.

“NATO is helping Ukraine to fight—but not to win”

Exactly what I am reading in Russian pro- and anti-war resources. Seems like the USA just want to create a second Vietnam for Russia and the war-without-end is the plan.

The Russian missile that destroyed the Okhmatdet Children’s Hospital in Kiev contained many Westerns chips. Russia is making nearly 8 times more Kh-101s than before 2022.

Most of Western sanctions don’t work (Russia still has a great money flow into the country and no big problems of buying chips for rockets) or even help the war (like blocking money flow away from Russia).

Most sanctions were just an impulsive act to show participation.

Received $2000 donation from Microsoft to PostCSS, Autoprefixer and other my projects. They donated many projects that day.

Thanks a lot to people who promote this project in the company and developers who highlight my projects.

On #JSNation @antfu explained the benefits of the new ESLint Flat Config.

Shared configs now can be a function with arguments.

This map shows where Russia is currently attacking GPS signals in the EU.

According to this brilliantly researched article from Peter Møller, Russia has a classified weapons system called Tobol, which is jamming GPS satellites from a base in Kaliningrad.

By using photos and articles from before the war, he has managed to piece together a surprisingly clear picture of what the Russians are doing.

(In Danish but translating it is absolutely worth it.)

Sometimes, especially with startups or small teams, UI design for developer-facing tools can fall upon a non-designer. This guide from Gleb Stroganov is full of real-life dev tool UI examples and analysis—so you can get your project going in record time. evilmartians.com/chronicles/ke

I moved my SSH key to the YubiKey hardware key.

Now in case of laptop hacking, e.g. via npm dependency, at least the SSH key (and all sessions with 2FA, which is also on the key) cannot be stolen.

I’m so into security because I really don’t want half the internet to be hacked by PostCSS, or any of my other projects (plus I’m making a privacy-first RSS reader right now)

And you can always donate to me for my efforts to protect the internet.
