jev is the best thing that’s dropped in a while when it comes to adding concrete value to workflows or pipelines or apps, frontier llms are too slow and expensive save your astra/fable for herculean tasks like solving millennium math problems and authoring react apps

The day the Earth stood still
I switched my API to Claude now but now Claude also went down!

Vue/Svelte are for folks who peaked in high school. Change my mind.

“You’re in the 75th percentile” means “you beat 75% of people.” But “p75 latency is 200ms” means “congrats, 25% of requests are having a bad time.” Same math. Opposite emotional damage. I hate this nomenclature sometimes.

Folks are increasingly becoming too comfortable softly admitting that they feel no sense of ownership over the work that's produced in their name by AI

it's just @kenwheeler "demonstrating dielectric counterspatial curvature in the human posterioral torus" down in Houston
BREAKING: The Earth now has two moons, as confirmed by NASA.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is in reference to the recent confirmation of an observed quasi-satellite of Earth, 2025 PN7, not a “second moon.” ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/tools/sbdb_loo… iopscience.iop.org/article/10.384…

Would anyone pay $5 to play tech culture bingo?
🇺🇸 🇮🇱 🇦🇷 Enjoyed my discussion with PM Netanyahu on how AI education and literacy will keep our free societies ahead. We spoke about AI empowering everyone to build software and the importance of ensuring it serves quality and progress. Optimistic for peace, safety, and greatness for Israel and its neighbors.

Great now I can search for all the one word domains that aren't available for all the business ideas that I'll never get around to building. Existential dread is now blazingly fast 🔥
Vercel Domains just got a full rebuild: • Search without logging in • Instant, streaming search results • At-cost pricing (up to 50% lower) • Private search, with no logging • Support for 500+ TLDs • Multi-domain checkout Try it now at vercel.com/domains

In all seriousness, though. Team did a great job here. It's a great showcase for the power of Next.js. I just can't shake the sense of how much of a slog it is to try and find a domain for an idea that isn't being squatted on because it's in Merriam-Webster...

Honestly, I miss SPAs...

How high is the Weissman score?
Vector databases for AI memory just got replaced by MP4 files. Store millions of text chunks in MP4 files instead of expensive vector databases with lightning-fast semantic search. No database needed. 100% Opensource.

Being a man is buying a tool, forgetting you own it, buying it again, then finding the original—five years later, right where you left it.

*Crack knuckles*. Open tab straight to docs. Browse like a pro. Click logo—docs homepage (nice). Click again—still in docs. Trapped. No escape (rage ensues). Open new tab. Smash main site URL like a damn Neanderthal. Every. Single. Time. 🫠

Is there a threshold of features of a boilerplate template that you would consider is *not* a scam to purchase?

Less readable and less performant: dub.sh/DemfzGm Realistically speaking, you'd abstract this into a reusable logic to perform some action against statuses. You'd build this once and hardly ever touch it.
Problem: You need to check if a value matches one of many potential values. Solution: Consider array.includes. This avoids declaring a bunch of repetitive conditionals.
