everyone’s talking about the python layoffs but the #flutter and #dart layoffs seem to have flown under the radar. from a mobile dev perspective they are more concerning regarding google’s commitment to its supposedly first class cross platform development ecosystem

On #climate and jet engines, anyone anywhere talking about encouraging more efficient #overSea travel?

For decades, I have been keeping an eye out for aircraft designed to fly mostly low, within the range of ground effect. Close to the ground, lift is significantly greater and flight is much more efficient.

Over water, a pilot wouldn't have to worry about hitting trees and obstacles. An ocean-going aircraft utilizing ground effect could be twice as large and still more efficient than a jet.

In a #saneSociety we would have #kids earlier: when we have the energy to keep up with them. We would be supported by family, and even neighbors, not given up on and isolated. It would be the beginning of our adult lives. Maybe the first of many happy relationships. We would learn as we teach our kids. From them, about how to be young and joyful: the essence of life. We would also learn much from their teachers, who would teach to the whole social organism, not just the children.

I am prepping an initial release of a set of bash functions I have been using for a while to make unix time more useful and easy to parse visually. It names levels of precision as year, month, day, and time.

I was inspired to write this years ago when I was naming and rotating logs and realized when Unix time is represented as hexadecimal the whole thing is 8 digits and various substrings actually match up not too badly with the length of Gregorian units on a log scale.

question for other #nodejs #javascript devs out there. is there a way to get the predictability of reproducible versioning between dev and deployed without having to lock down your package.json to exact versions? concern is that locking down versions now introduces a quarterly upgrade cycle that sucks up dev time. i'm also not a fan of dependabot's yarn.lock only updates.

this whole convo started w/ #nextjs 13.3.1 release with a nasty bug.
