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…

jsdb
A zero-dependency, transparent, in-memory, streaming write-on-update JavaScript database for the Small Web that persists to a JavaScript transaction log.

It’s possible that these vehicle swarms we’re seeing are more along those lines: making a show of “investigating” and arresting the regime’s political undesirables.
I’ll also repeat my guess that they’re going to keep trying to pump up their abduction count by targeting places like prisons and farms and industrial sites where the kidnappings won’t get filmed.
They wouldn’t be buying up all those concentration camps if the didn’t think they’re going to fill them.

Would you like to track streaks and stats in Left Wordle across multiple devices?
Would you use a Passkey for this purpose? Passkeys would allow users to stay anonymous (or provide an email for recovery if desired), and they wouldn’t require sensitive info (passwords) to be stored on the server.

I did say that in that essay that I wouldn't go off on the Zizian tangent, but like... I gotta for just a moment...
edit: wrong link, but that other one is funny too.

Maybe one of the more surprising things about the current live coding waves is how queer-lead it has become. I wouldn't have said it was ever particularly masculine/macho, but live coding was very cis male-dominated and hetronormative in the early days. Now as far as I know all the people blowing up on tiktok and instagram are LGBQT, and the most active live coding software and community platforms for music and visuals include LGBQT people leading core development (I say leadership here …

> “I tried every way I could think of to call for help using the options the app showed, but the phone line wouldn’t go through, and when I pressed the SOS button it told me it was unavailable. So then what exactly is the SOS for?”
[Developer voice] Actually user telemetry shows that people almost never use emergency features in the app, so we removed the functionality and left the UI as a placebo button.

Robotaxi Outage in China Leaves Passengers Stranded on Highways
A suspected system failure froze Baidu’s robotaxis across Wuhan, trapping passengers and reportedly causing traffic disruptions and crashes.

Several years ago, a street medic described a system like this and wanted to know if it could be built.

Back then there was just no way to make it happen. Hardware was too expensive. We couldn't really ever get it cheap enough, per medic, to deploy. Best I could put together was a bunch of burner phones.
But now it's starting to really make sense. LoRa is cheap, and possibly cheaper in bulk. And it wouldn't be necessary to build everything since ATAK-CIV exists and has several open source implementations. It can even tie in to drones (which are illegal to bring to protests in at least a few states).
This has a lot of potential applications for street medic coordination, protest marshal coordination, and for airsoft teams...
