If you use Sharp to convert images to WebP in Node, perhaps checkout this quick benchmark to compare the time cost and size savings by different efforts:

Also, be gentle. It's a rather quick side-project to solve a particular need I had. I combined that "opportunity" to familiarize myself with the Bun toolchain.
Bun is absolutely great, but it's not better than Node. It's more complicated and interesting than that.

Introducing hylite
https://t.co/neemTqiyOh
A Node project, but built using Bun.

[Peter Bengtsson @peterbe]

for JS nerds interested in the dichotomy of Node vs. Bun, I touch on this in the blog post.
To summarize; we *build* things with TypeScript, but *run* things in plain JavaScript.

I dip my toes into running TypeScript files directly.

tl;dr bun is super fast, esno and esrun are about the same performance as ts-node.

@hexclad @GordonRamsay The big pans buckle in the middle after a couple of months :(

@schalkneethling @TerraMeijar There was this talk in 2015 about not being too anal about coding style, then he goes 200% pythonic and proves that true code “style” matters more than white space and variable names.

They recently switched from credits to subscriptions. But I only send about 30 emails per month.
And I was glad to find out there's a free tier at 100 emails per month. So now I'm a happy/cheap subscriber.

[Peter Bengtsson @peterbe]

For the record, https://t.co/qBbjvXqvE7 (It's a service for sending emails for your server) is a great service.
Been reliable for years. And a great interface too. Snappy and pretty.

Hey @codesandbox The ability to add dependencies is gone in the new design :(
There's no "Add Dependency" button and when you get an error it doesn't suggest to add the missing dependency from the Vite error message.

@chasej @davidwalshblog Last time I looked ag was very slow compared to rg (aka ripgrep)

“a prison cell that works” !! Think I’ll steal that to say about Docker and Nextjs

[Ben Awad @benawad]

I've had brief periods where I've daily driven linux (ubuntu/arch) but always given it up

I like the idea of being a gigachad linux user, but I'm too lazy

I don't care enough about customizing things, I just want a prison cell that works

- signed a mbp user 😅

@devongovett Gosh yeah. I miss Django’s https://t.co/67sqrlYdhU where you get a clear picture of all possible URLs. And since each entry has a name/identifier you don’t have to change links in code when you rearrange the outward-facing URLs.
