I might have found a bug in V8 but I'm not sure yet. V8 doesn't list America/Nuuk as being a valid timezone but Firefox does. Both V8 and Firefox accept the timezone as valid.

I tried the brand new #Sony #RX1R III at B&H yesterday. It's a $5,000 fixed-lens camera with a full frame 60MP sensor. Ultimately the photos had less detail than the combo 33MP Sony A7c II + 40mm lens that I had brought with me which is half the price and not much larger.

I just discovered that the @digitalocean.com App Platform hosts my service behind @cloudflare.social because in _certain_ conditions it injects JavaScript into the page which then violates my Content Security Policy.

The latest version of #Android adds a bunch of battery-killing transparency and background blur. I suppose when the duopolies can't innovate they just keep ripping off each other's mistakes.

@netflix.com documentaries are the worst. They never tell you what is real footage vs what is a recreation. With documentaries being borderline Journalism I would argue that it is unethical.

Early npm and Node.js design decisions resulted in the biggest software ecosystem in existence, for the most used programming language in the world. We shouldn't pretend this is a net bad thing. But yes, it came with tradeoffs. A more competent current steward could have mitigated these tradeoffs.
All the good that TypeScript did to the Node ecosystem, npm is undoing it
How can a serious company build on top of this ecosystem that is one npm update away from dependency compromise happening
(I am serious: I'd expect more greenfield startups to not go with Node b/c of it)

Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events.

The video games of my childhood are perfectly preservable in easily emulated, single-file ROM formats. Maybe things like PICO8 will become future nostalgia for the current generation of kids. Otherwise good luck playing Fortnite or Roblox in a few decades.
