We Deserve a Better Streams API for JavaScript, by @jasnell (@cloudflare):
It would be nice if browser automatically load the WebAssembly modules, bind the native web APIs directly (without any JS glue code), and run the module.
We could write the code for web apps in any language and then compile it to a WASM.

People at Anthropic say they’ve found over 500 high-severity vulnerabilities using Claude.
Looks like 0-day exploits might become widely accessible soon.
Matt Smith noticed that the Iterator utils is widely available now (since ~2024).
So we may keep an arrays processing look like a pipeline, but do it lazy and reach significant performance win. A trivial change is needed.
Someone had to remind us all of this.

New blog post where I tell about a nano-queries, an state of the art Query Builder for a SQL and NoSQL queries.
Fun fact, the JavaScript infrastructure had no simple query builder before. Only ORM solutions that makes hurt your queries performance. So programmers who no needed in ORM did build an SQL queries manually.
You are welcome to try this elegant solution on your project.

In June 2023, I found myself in an awkward situation. We used a custom database on a project, and I needed a simple query builder to create complex queries dynamically and ensure security against user input. I discovered that there were no solutions to that problem on the JavaScript platform at all. I built a solution and now open-sourced it.
Don't shout at your drives!
I just found a video where a man shouts at an HDD array and its latency are noticeably increases because of vibrating.

I discovered tauri.app recently. Do you have any feedback on it?
They define it as a framework to build cross platform apps based on web technologies like Electron does, but app will takes reasonable size like 600kb (not a 200mb unlike Electron).
One weird thing I noticed is they recommend a Vue as a default frontend framework that makes me think they are weak in a frontend things like those who have invent a HTMX.
How do you search for a new good movies to watch among a tons of garbage released in last 20 years?
Do you use IMDB or any other service?
