The brain drain at npm continues to concern me. I keep wondering why its board of directors does not intervene.

Yarn won’t save us because it uses npm’s registry.

Entropic seems promising, but I think a better effort would be to bring Deno’s URL-based module loading to Node. 🤔

The only way leaf blowers could get louder is if Dyson makes one.

My best 2019 tech conference talk idea is just a jeremiad of things I like that aren’t popular but should be.

2019 might be the first year since 2013 I don’t speak at a conference. 2018–2019 have been rebuilding years professionally. I don’t have anything insightful to say about them yet. Not a big enough audience interested in my thoughts on Firefox extensions or FitbitOS watchfaces.

Siri can set a timer.
Siri can tell you how much time is left on the timer.
Siri can cancel/clear the timer.
But Siri cannot stop a timer alarm going off.

Cooking with Siri sucks.

The only good thing in the world today is that I learned about "banana pose" which is just something seals do when they feel safe and content.
Just happy seal things.

Getting to buy STEM toys is one of the best perks of being an uncle. Arriving soon for my niece’s 8th birthday: jewelbots.com/products/jewelbi

What’s the best way to crosspost from Mastodon to Twitter?

Twitter blocked me from two of my three accounts. Support has been slow to help. Fuck that shit. Time to move to Mastodon.

I don’t think npm is evil, but I do believe federation is the correct technical and economic solution. Required watching for all JavaScript developers. youtube.com/watch?v=MO8hZlgK5z
