Today ChatGPT read 25186 news articles and gave 15 of them a significance score over 5.5.

The R package repository CRAN doesn’t let you publish a new version of your own package if the update causes a test failure in any other CRAN packages that depend on your package.

This makes the whole package repository function like a monorepo, where every package update moves in lockstep with its dependents and dependencies.

Hardcore idea but i like it.

wtf they got me too

The hackathon was great, was worried about my talk, it ended up going well, met a bunch of cool people from the community.

I stayed up all night on friday preparing my talk, I was the first person there, got there at like 12:30 LT in the morning, every cafe was closed.

Then went on to drink 5 cups of macchiato (2 of them were cappuccinos) on saturday, to have enough energy to give the talk, felt like my heart was gonna explod later that night (but i am ok now, just needed to sleep).

There were a bunch of cool ideas, i especially liked tech nerd's and natiyu's Better Auth GUI idea.

Listened to a bunch of cool songs with mike, ezra, chapi that was cool, also dougnut is really good at FIFA.

Had to bail early on Sunday, to go home and get some sleep, but it was awesome, cool day and cool night.

Thanks to all of the organizers for making this event possible ♥️, especially to kinfish for landing the cool venue, and organizing the event.

The JS Execution Model

At work, we have a slack channel where every app event gets logged, like new sign ups, people creating new projects, and even stripe notifications for when people pay for the product.

The cool part is that I, as a regular employee, also have access to the channel and will literally get a notification when the company makes money.
