I am so excited to announce that my @NativeScript android runtime rewrite using Node-API is near completion. 418 tests (almost all) from NativeScript test suite pass now successfully when using @HermesEngine! 😀😀

Apple Notes is not free. You pay for it by spending thousands of dollars on purchasing absurdly priced devices from a company that makes a living off of entrapping their users in vendor-locked services holding their data and memories hostage. That's Apple Notes.

Rust will be replaced by something simpler.
Rust is a great language, and the zero performance cost safety benefits are a huge innovation, but dang I still struggle with the borrow checker constantly! Maybe it’s a skill issue, but even after writing a few hundred thousand lines over several years, writing Rust still feels like solving a puzzle. There is definitely a productivity cost, so make sure the other benefits are worth it in your domain before choosing it for everything. 😅

Will be releasing the tokenizer as an open source lib. I am sure many people will find it useful.
🔎 Massive improvements coming in the Search experience 🔍 👉 Rewriting the sqlite fts5 tokenizer from scratch to support queries < 3 characters in length. 👉 Support for sorting search results 👉 Highlighting matches right in the search results view

I've converted QuickJS from C to Rust. Much better.

Stop the fucking posturing. They are dying over there in hundreds while you are busy here posing and taking pictures. Fuck you and your insensitive deaf, blind, senseless soul.

So? Live it according to Islam. Who's stopping you aside from yourself?
Pakistan wasn’t created so that a bunch of people who identify as Muslim could live in a land whilst dancing to Bollywood. It was created for Muslims to be able to live their life according to Islam.

Isn't that exactly what you guys did in your very recent past in India, Africa, America, Middle East, and Asia? Your colonial past is not so old that it'd be forgotten so quickly. A taste of your own medicine, as they say.
If we don't start to seriously fight for our continent, for our religion, for our people, our countries, then this time that we live in will go down in history as the time in which Western nations no longer had to get invaded by hostile armies in order to be conquered, this time will then go down in history as the period in which the invader was actively invited in by a corrupt elite. And not only did this corrupt elite invite the enemy in, they made the native population pay for it too.

Deno is becoming more and more pointless by the minute. Node.js also supports ESM, web APIs like crypto etc. Node.js can also run typescript directly now. Sure its under an experimental flag but...come on. Why would anyone use Deno over Node.js?

Listen to this, pinch yourself, and then listen to it again. I can't believe that this is the BBC. That's a top, top analysis. That's journalism. That's how media outlets should work. Well-done, @BBCWorld

I don't think you'll hear much about it. Israel will shut down the whole media to stop the reputation damage as much as possible. They'll also try to show as if Iran failed to achieve anything by the attack. Anything else will show Israel as weak.
Get ready for western hypocrisy over the bombing of Tel Aviv while the west watches two million Gazans being starved to death
