rk06··on LineageOS Statistics
a significant contribution is due to android companies not allowing bootloader to be unlocked and then not providing kernel sources, making any development very hard, and many times impossible.
rk06··on Vite+ Beta
yes, vite+ has full support of vite based tools and astro is built on vite.
rk06··on Even more batteries included with Emacs
rest of the world is ctrl-c, ctrl-x and ctrl-v. but emacs is in completely different world.

for emacs to gain mindshare, it needs to meet people where they are, not where emacs was 30 yrs ago.

of course, emacs does not work reliably in windows, so that is another issue

rk06··on AI coding at home without going broke
yes, that is probably why the "one armed bandit" was called that. and the name is sufficient reason to keep any reasonable person away
rk06··on Does anybody like React?
vue is adding a vdom less route. but not going away from it anytime soon
rk06··on Does anybody like React?
why is RSC not considered react? it is designed by core React team, and heavily recommended by core React team. and needs deep support from react.
rk06··on Rewrite Bun in Rust has been merged
The page is not loading for me.
rk06··on Rewrite Bun in Rust has been merged
no matter how good the results are, this kind of rewrites deserves an experimental build to be battle tested by bleeding edge users.

It takes a lot of rigorous testing automated and manual and by community before such changes are cosnidered permanent.

One does not simply YOLO a full langugae rewrite without user feedback. it is insane.

rk06··on Bun's experimental Rust rewrite hits 99.8% test compatibility on Linux x64 glibc
tyscript compiler is a cli tool. and is run for short periods of time. GC collection and memory leaks should be least of issue to look for
rk06··on Apple's accidental moat: How the "AI Loser" may end up winning
can it run windows?
rk06··on What have been the greatest intellectual achievements? (2017)
The one invented writing also invented reading
rk06··on Microsoft is employing dark patterns to goad users into paying for storage?
I heard somewhere that Onedrive goes one step further, i.e. deleting local files and keeping them only in cloud. so when people delete file from onedrive, they find local files already deleted
rk06··on Microsoft is employing dark patterns to goad users into paying for storage?
my wife had here google account storage full because photos does auto backup and even after i deleted the photos from google photos. Auto backup kicked in and re-added them.

Also, there is no good way to download all photos and videos for backup. they have to be manually selected. the ui is super frustating. and since the storage is shared with email, emails are blocked due to this

rk06··on We moved Railway's frontend off Next.js. Builds went from 10+ mins to under 2
the biggest problem with html/css is that they are tightly coupled. you can't meaningfully modify a layout with css alone.

second biggest problem is "no stricter mode". so even wrong or useless html/css code goes unflagged and is treated as it is normal.

CSS is way too powerful.

rk06··on Post Mortem: axios NPM supply chain compromise
this is literally the lesson i take from this. always do meetings on tablets
rk06··on Decisions that eroded trust in Azure – by a former Azure Core engineer
it is not. the real world says one thing and does another.

here is how real world tech companies actually function: https://www.seangoedecke.com/how-to-ship/

rk06··on Decisions that eroded trust in Azure – by a former Azure Core engineer
once you reach the stage, the only escape is to give up on it. and move on.

somethings are beyond your control and capabilities

rk06··on Decisions that eroded trust in Azure – by a former Azure Core engineer
Hi, I hope you are doing good. From my personal experience, complaining about your manager to skip level manager is called Career Suicide.

There is nothing good that can come out of it,, except getting fired.

rk06··on Decisions that eroded trust in Azure – by a former Azure Core engineer
Most likely, the author was let go in mass layoff, and they forgot about NDA.
rk06··on Decisions that eroded trust in Azure – by a former Azure Core engineer
The part about prioritizing "aggressive feature velocity" over "core fundamentals" is true.

The push is as insane as push to AI.

At the same time fundamental improvements like migrating to .net core, or reducing logs is actively deprioritised. If it were not for compliance, we would not have any core engineering improvement at all

Honestly, I was not even aware of rust push, probably cause no one in my org could do rust. I am glad we did not move to AKS though

rk06··on Axios compromised on NPM – Malicious versions drop remote access trojan
> This creates a secondary deception layer. After infection, running npm list in the project directory will report plain-crypto-js@4.2.0 — because npm list reads the version field from the installed package.json, which now says 4.2.0. An incident responder checking installed packages would see a version number that does not match the malicious 4.2.1 version they were told to look for, potentially leading them to conclude the system was not compromised.

WTF!!!! gaslighting your victims into believing they are not victims. the ingenuity of this is truly mindblowing. I am shocked at such thing is even allowed. like packages should not be able to modify their contents while they are being instaleld.

rk06··on Vite 8.0 Is Out
Vercel owns nuxt and sveltekit, so they do benefit. only nextjs suffers from not being on vite.
rk06··on Vite+ Alpha: Unified Toolchain for the Web (MIT License)
vite+ is a cli tool and open source, which is built on top of vite.

void is a deployment platform and sdk which is built on top of cloudflare and vite. void will be paid offerring

rk06··on Vite 8.0 Is Out
look at plugin api limiation here:

https://esbuild.github.io/plugins/#svelte-plugin

esbuild's plugin support is limited which is why vite had to use rollup for prod build.

rk06··on Vite+ Is Now MIT
This was a big surprise. but a good one!
rk06··on Vite 8.0 Is Out
it is not. lack of plugin support is sufficient to block adoptions among other things.
rk06··on Vite 8.0 Is Out
most likely they are not running the prod build on latest mac. so it is slower.

Really the enterprise partner supports next, but not vanilla js sounds stupid? Honestly I expect them to prioritize nextjs and react given the popularity, but still be open to vanilla js.

I checked sitecore cloud to have special integration for nextjs and reactjs. But it also support vanilla js as well.

Are there really anyone who is exclusive to nextjs?

rk06··on I was interviewed by an AI bot for a job
I am assuming that all interviews are not AI, and it is only initial filter. if not, then i will filter the company out!!
rk06··on I was interviewed by an AI bot for a job
"disrespect" is doing quite a heavy lifting here. if the company is honest and upfront about it, why do you consider it any different from automated coding test or the implicit Resume scanner?

Ultimately, a company has to filter job applications and find the right fit. and I consider a number of things companies actually do to be very disrespectful and demeaning. for eg: getting interviewed by clueless HR who have zero techinical expertise, not sharing salary range in advance, asking leetcode hard questions, forcing AI bullshit etc

With that framing, i consider AI interview to be less disrespectful and something i am ok with.
