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.

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.

Can somebody explain why it so difficult to LLMs to place a commas correctly?

The "villain," on my screenshot.

All LLM I've tried last few years had this problem. Such problems makes me feel the LLM nowadays like a CGI in 2000s when people have called it a "photo realistic graphic".

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.

Just released Ordinality — a framework-agnostic migration tool for Browser, Node, and Deno.

We use it in production on both backend and frontend.

Ordinality works with any database — IndexedDB, SQL, state files, or anything else.

I just read email from NPM "New TOTP 2FA configurations disabled (existing TOTP still works)".

It looks NPM will disable TOTP and force package authors to use WebAuthn/passkeys.

Business as usual. Spot an opportunity to hype it up and cash in.
