We've been listening to people who've had trouble upgrading to ESLint v9.0.0. There's bee a lot of "flat config isn't ready", but that's reductionist. We've identified three areas that people are having trouble with:
1. Flat config. It's new, it's different, it takes time to wrap your head around. Things don't work the same way as eslintrc. Most folks figure it out. Sometimes that involves using the FlatCompat utility to use eslintrc configs. The docs are here to help:

Climate change doesn't fit the model of "insurance." It's not a low probability, high impact event that randomly affects a small subset of assets, with a low total cost relative to the whole pool of assets at risk.

Converting an sRGB color to P3 does not make it “pop”. It doesn't change it at all.
If you *want* to make it pop, do so by boosting the chroma in a space like OKLCH. P3 *does* give you more room to boost.

104/ Weissmann:
An apparent big slip by Trump counsel as he elicits from McConney that Weisselberg told him the money was for some sort of reimbursement. Remember: that is the DA's position, and that the paperwork disguised it as legal fees. And Trump wants to say it was really legal fees and not a reimbursement.

A 🧵 about our PL research on typed functional programming and efficient data representation:
We have a paper accepted (conditionally) to ECOOP this year that we’ll hopefully be able to post online soon. It is part of our ongoing research project called Gibbon, which is focused on type-safe programming with serialized data—that is, programs that operate on data compacted in memory, rather than traditional pointer-based data structures. Basically, changing the data representation to make tree traversals/transforms much more efficient, and using types to make it safe.
Since I’ve been thinking about it recently, I thought I’d write up a thread about our PLDI 2019 paper, which lays out a lot of the foundation for this project. It was a few years ago and some people here might not have seen it.
LoCal: A Language for Programs Operating on Serialized Data
In it is a story about how we used types and programming language design to code tree traversals that are purely functional and type safe, and that are also as fast or often faster than idiomatic C/C++!

Jack Dorsey tweets a photo that says "In God we trust. All others we monitor" on a t-shirt with the CIA emblem.
He does this two hours after casually announcing he is no longer on the #BlueSky board of directors.
His media training would warn him tweeting these two things so close together would have implications. So either he's trying to be cryptic, or he doesn't care.
I don't have a conclusion, but thought it was noteworthy.
