To everyone invited to my Christmas Bubble Party: I'm sorry, there's been some mix-up with the delivery. Instead of bubbles, we received a massive crate of some new kind of protein powder. It says it's orange and whiskey flavored, and there's a ton of it.

Sadly, we can't return all this protein powder, let alone get the bubbles we wanted in time. So, to try to make the best of a bad situation: it's a powder party now.

We'll be rockin' around the Christmas tree in the new old-fashioned whey.

More seriously, I am saddened by Kissinger's death. It closes the door on any opportunity for earthly justice. He can no longer be confronted or held to account for his crimes.

#HenryKissinger is responsible for the deaths of three to four million people in an 8-year span, maimed millions upon millions more

If you're wondering why people are cheering his death, now you know.

He was still advising and directing policy up until his promotion to Hell's CEO, including Trump when he was in the Oval.

Writing CSS in a Tailwind codebase feels like when you got to do things at a friend's house your parents didn't let you do.

Somehow just writing CSS—plain, ordinary, no-framework, no-build-step CSS—has started to feel like a subversive release.

It's holiday season, so if your team gets "downtime", now's the time to prototype upgrades for your React apps:

• rip-out CSS-in-JS from your codebase
• adopt Preact
• make full rebuilds less than 30s
• rebuild with HTML-first and progressive enhancement

There are reports from Brazilian military intelligence, suggesting that Venezuela is preparing an attack against neighboring country, Guyana.

Any such unprovoked attack should be strongly opposed by the international community!

Let's hope for the best...

Chrome is in the news for another 0-day that makes use of integer overflow in C++.

This is a solvable problem, and these bugs can be eliminated to make software safer by design. Please enjoy a blog post about how!

In the pull request model, any change needs to be approved before it's merged.

In Wikipedia, changes are allowed by default, only later reverted or corrected if necessary.

I wonder if open source #software projects could use the Wikipedia model instead.
Maybe with a twist that tests can't be changed, but anything that passes tests gets merged automatically.
