I maintain a library also, and the shift to ESM was incredibly painful, because you still have to ship CJS, only now you have work out how to write the code in a way that can be bundled either way, can be tested, etc etc.

I usually write it like: const data = (await fetch(url)).then(r => r.json()) But it's very easy obviously to wrap the syntax into whatever ergonomics you like.

Huh, I write a fair bit of Node and there was a lot new here for me. Like the built in test stuff. Also hadn't caught up with the the `node:` namespace.

Yep. I had no luck getting my Facebook account unblocked until 9 months later when by chance I did some work for them. Instantly unblocked.

The link is a google.com redirect. You probably have an extension installed that auto-resolves such redirects.

I guess when you put it like that there is a long history of production systems being built by people who had no business doing it. An access database running a whole company etc.

One of my current clients vibe coded an app then hired me to assess it, and ultimately rewrite it. I'm really curious whether that will become a trend.

Yep. Dang is basically the only one I notice.

Increased padding comes at the cost of information density. I think low density UIs are more beginner friendly but power users want high density.

A bot that calls 30 businesses to find the best price or the soonest availability is definitely wasting 29 businesses' time.

I'm unclear if that's a statement in support or against my take that this tool will waste businesses' time?

does anyone have any idea what they are?

And now, because it costs you absolutely nothing, why not just have the bots waste hours of other peoples' time calling every possible place to get the best possible result for you? At least when you had to make the calls yourself, the

Wow, what an example of someone being excited to build something that is definitely making the world worse for everyone else. All the people who work in small businesses - restaurants, plumbers, etc. Now they're going to have no choice

funny how it sounds kind of the opposite of how people might work. Get enough 'no's from someone and they might finally cave in. get enough 'yes'es and they might get sick of doing everything you ask.

It seems weird to me that copilot sometimes refuses to execute code but sometimes allows it. What exactly are they aiming for?

I found that incredibly clunky when I saw it. Also, it's a little bit extra jarring that Sean Connery goes from speaking Russian to speaking English with a Scottish accent.

They didn't say whether it would have been feasible to just extract that one function from the library - sort of manually tree-shaking, if you will.

Does anyone know if this is new?

by stevage 1y ago
I 100% support this. I wish more open source maintainers would take steps like this sooner rather than feeling stressed and undervalued and burning out. It seems very cheap for what it is.

>Vector tiles are not new technology. Yeah, it really is not. Mapbox Vector Tiles spec came out in 2014, and they've been absolutely standard across all (non-government) web mapping for at least the last 5 years.

You don't need a database to serve mbtiles. If you're deploying PMTiles somewhere that doesn't support byte offset requests, then they don't really have much advantage over mbtiles.
