A NASA astronaut has captured an electrifying image of Earth from space, featuring a gigantic, jellyfish-shaped "sprite" of red lightning shooting upwards above a thunderstorm in North America. The rare phenomenon is still poorly understood, despite being studied for more than 30 years.

Great article spelling out the disadvantages to heavy React based websites. https://infrequently.org/2025/06/conferences-clarity-and-smokescreens/
Anyone know of tools kind of like #languageServerProtocol but instead of keeping the AST in memory they do streaming parse / search on the fly? I'm not a huge fan of masssive memory use and it feels like we're leaving performance on the table by parsing entire files/folders instead of just enough to get to what you want.
Maybe once I get my glasses prescription updated and get some higher priority expenses sorted out :P
@alcinnz it's the lede that resonates with me: we're not developing for readers and viewers, we're developing for developers who don't want to touch actual HTML and CSS, who don't even want to touch JavaScript. They want to stay in their TypeScript fortress where normal people are not allowed.
So go find an artist you like, a smaller one, on Bandcamp and drop the same $15 you send to Spotify every month in their pocket. For truly small artists, a single sale can literally make their day!
NO ONE is going to notice or care that you spent $15 on Spotify, but the same $$$ spent say BC can be life changing to a struggling artist.
Occult cyberpunk. Yap with me about decentralized systems, wearable computing, and biohacking.
