Just made a little correction to the JavaScript Database (JSDB) Table Events section:
Previously, the example that listens for the JSTable.PERSIST event was erroneously stating that the table was deleted when the `type` property in the event handlers parameter object was JSTable.DELETE. It now correctly states that the value at `keypath` was deleted.
I also documented the JSTable.PERSIST types so they wouldn’t be confused with the JSTable event types (persist and delete; the latt…

The Race to the Bottom | Art Berman
Welcome to the twilight of the Industrial Age. Growth is ending. That was the blunt thesis of a recent essay, and the signals are already here—deindustrialization, grid stress, financial instability, and rising geopolitical conflict. The Honest Sorcerer’s argument is simple: growth depends on ever-faster drawdown of energy and materials as…

april fool's product "AI pet for your AI companion" has a video that shows various options for the pet: corgi, kitten, snake, toaster, Punch-Kun (the macaque with a plush orangutan), and "Lynx the Blue Fox" shown here

The claim "you won't be replaced by AI, but by a person using AI" is nonsense. The Block layoff victims were some of the most productive, #llm pilled people in the company, but it didn't save them, because that's not what layoffs are about.
The layoff script goes, as always:
- overhire
- lay everyone off
- pretend it's because of

"AI layoffs" like Block's are a race to the bottom that have nothing to do with productivity.
You won't be replaced by AI, nor a person using AI, because backfills aren't real.

My #silentsunday photo from a recent hike where I indeed saw the first little blossoms! I was so surprised to see them!
On the one side I was a bit sad as this means that winter is coming to an end and I did have far less winter hikes than wished. On the other side: spring is all around! Colors, more hiking routes, mountainbiking, ... all this is waiting 🙂

🥳 New JavaScript Database (JSDB) release
• Fix: Now properly handling array indices on `JSTable.PERSIST` events in the `keypath` property that’s passed to the event handler.
Just noticed that the pretty keypaths of the JavaScript deltas written to the append-only log were ignoring array indices while playing with a new database introspection call I’m adding to the Kitten Interactive Shell (REPL) and fixed it.
I’ll be updating Kitten shortly to use this version of JSDB and I…
