It's pretty weird that the internet is throwing shade at "server actions" and not the obvious trashfire that is RSC. The new thing isn't the problem; it's the old thing that *still* doesn't work.*

Here’s my tip on influencing companies online:
You do not need to _default_ to outrage-clicks. Especially for smaller firms, don’t do it. That’s not how they work and they will resent it. Be honest and direct. Say ~publicly innocuously in earnest, then transition to privately.

• In this pixel art image, we see a snowy outdoor scene with a large building in the background. The dominant colors are blue and white, giving off a cold and wintry feel. A street light stands prominently in the foreground, illuminating the otherwise dark surroundings. Despite the snow falling from the sky, there is still some light visible in the distance. (remote)

Good news. Now, to get CO₂ emissions down, to zero.

Only a few more days until the end of Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Personally, I think it’s smarter to wait until November when they always have big end of year sales on leftover cybersecurities.

PSA to datetime library authors!

"Local" time zone should never be assumed implicitly! If you must support something like naked "2023-10-27", create a naive date object and either require a time zone along with it when you need one, or if you have to assume, assume UTC. There's only one UTC, and there are 38 local ones. See the problem?

isagalaev ("Ivan Sagalaev :flag_wbw:") wrote:

But then a library comes along and just declares that "startOfMonth" will always be in a local time zone. Like, even if you give it a tz-aware date object, it would first forcefully *move* it to a local tz, and only then will start thinking of where in the calendar it is. And now we get a whole month worth of a difference depending on whether you live west or east of London. Who thought it could be a correct behavior? Like, ever?

You know, I perhaps should be less optimistic about declaring software problems as "solved"… For the last two days our team was fighting with a time zone problem. Time zones! We've had them around for ages, surely by now we should know how to deal with them? RIght?

Troll/reply guy tried to get me to back down from my unequivocal statement that there's no evidence the 2020 election was stolen, claiming it's better to "meet people halfway" if I want to convince them.

No. As a researcher and educator, I believe in providing clear, accurate information.

The "evidence" that the election was stolen is made up bullshit. To call it anything else is a disservice.

If someone claims that 2+2=5, I'm not going to try to get them to compromise that it's 4.5.

I urge each one of you to join us in this endeavor. If not by purchasing the game, then by sharing this initiative with your network, or by contributing directly to trusted organizations working on the ground. The strength of our collective action can bring light to the darkest of times.

To those affected by the crisis in Gaza, I stand in solidarity with you, drawing strength from my own experiences and channeling it into hope for a brighter, peaceful future. (4/4)

Starting today and running until October 31, 2024, we will be donating the full revenue, 100%, from every purchase of our flagship game, Dr. Kobushi's Labyrinthine Laboratory, directly to the UNRWA's Gaza Emergency Appeal. We see this as an opportunity to leverage our platform and resources to provide tangible help. We are committed to transparency, and will publish donation reports.

It's with this personal perspective that I view the current humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Thousands of innocent children and civilians have lost their lives, homes have been reduced to rubble, and an entire community is struggling to find hope amid the chaos. While the scale and context may differ, the human suffering remains the same.

At Symbolic Software, we've decided to turn our pain into purpose. (2/4)

I've always believed that our personal experiences shape our professional journeys. Today, I'd like to share a part of my own story with you.

In 2006, during the Lebanon war, my entire neighborhood was carpet-bombed by Israel, rendering me and my family homeless. The trauma of war, the piercing pain of displacement, and the overwhelming feeling of helplessness are experiences I wouldn't wish on anyone. (1/4)

2. You couldn't set a different default browser until iOS 14. That's 14 yrs of forcing links to always open in Safari, long enough that people may not even bother to switch browser anymore

3. The #AppleBrowserBan - browsers on iOS are forced to use Apple's WebKit engine* and can't introduce web features unless Apple implements them

I'm annoyed by the rants about HTTP/2 being "bad" for having one (already mitigated) issue, as if we foolishly left a better protocol behind.
HTTP/1 had a long history of request smuggling attacks due to its deceptively tricky to parse syntax. H/1 got hit by slow loris DoS. H/1 pipelining is forever unreliable — browser vendors have given up on it after years of trying, and getting silent data corruption. The "simple" protocol has created complexity of domain sharding and cookieless domains.
