@karfcz @rauchg Modern browsers can do out of order streaming without JavaScript:

...though I am not sure if Next.js has updated to use this technique or not for the initial SSR stream

RE: Web programming

Once you accept that state IS the problem, the solutions become simpler and more apparent

[Adam L Barrett @adamlbarrett]

Regardless of your political leaning, this is just the government outright lying to the people (again) about this situation.

It is time to drag this party out of office. How much corruption and misinformation are you allowing yourself to ignore?

[Scott Moe @PremierScottMoe]

A fair deal for teachers means both sides need to be willing to negotiate at the bargaining table.

The government is there.

The teachers’ union is not.

See the most recent update on bargaining from Education Minister Jeremy Cockrill.

[Adam L Barrett @adamlbarrett]

@juristr These look like really great changes, not only for the features you mentioned, but also for demystifying what Nx really does

Great work!

Today, Sask Party Premier Scott Moe dispatched his special publicly fund private legislative police force to attempt to block Saskatchewan Teachers from recording (in the public’s building) the delivery of thousands of letters to the lying Minister of Education.

Alright folks. Here's something to play with while we work on more useful AI features.

Felt cute, may remove later.

When people in power starting letting people suffer, or even die, so that they could "make money"

There is a lot of money to be made, when the customer can choose to pay you or be in pain, or let their child be in pain, or let there loved ones die.

This can't be tolerated.

@premium @Support @X When did we become such heartless people?

[Dominic Gannaway @trueadm]

As I alluded to on my stream with @RyanCarniato, one of the great things about Svelte 5's runes is that the compiler can determine whether or not something even needs to be backed by a signal.

Signals are great for updates, but can have a non-trivial cost on page load when the relationship between the bit of state and the UI is trivial. Grouping DOM updates in singular effect signals can reduce that cost.

In fact it's an interesting topic as the raw approach of virtual DOM libraries often avoids the allocation costs here, especially if they skip diffing the template part entirely (like Million.js, Ivi and Blockdom). Reducing unnecessary allocations and memory consumption always results in better performance.

@BenLesh The first seven seem to be pretty much what I would've expected

Why is a comedy channel the way I have to learn about half of this stuff?

There is something deeply wrong in our nation.

The Canadian Government has made a new tourism ad, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative! 🇨🇦
