The amount of JavaScript you ship to your users directly impacts your site’s performance. A smaller bundle size means faster initial loading times and an overall snappier experience for end users. In this post, I’ll show you how to analyze your SvelteKit bundle size and optimize it by moving heavy dependencies to the server. Analyzing Bundle Sizes Before we start, let’s set up a tool to visualize our bundle sizes. We’ll use rollup-plugin-vi..

We had our fourth short story fika yesterday. This time, the theme was ‘duty’ and the stories featured were: The Sniper by Liam O’Flaherty The Lottery by Shirley Jackson The Veldt by Ray Bradbury It was just three of us this time, and we had a great chat about the duties and sacrifices of war, the questioning (or lack thereof) of outdated traditions, and the costs of our increasing reliance on automation in daily life.

Here is what I read in 2024. Did much more sampling and dropping books halfway (I still love you, Moby Dick) so it’s a shorter list than last year. Hope you find a gem or two in there for your reading lists. Happy new year! 🤓 Non-Fiction (English) Fiction (French) Non-Fiction (French)

Some time ago, I wrote about adding multiple cursor support to symbol-overlay by gluing the two packages together. If you're keen to learn how to bend Emacs to your way, have a look at that post. Later on, in a "Multiple cursors - how and why?" Reddit post , I showcased the overlay usage. Peter Oliver asked if the package could be submitted to MELPA . To my delight, he also volunteered to take on the submission . Unfortunately..

Last year, I noticed that routine programming no longer brought me the same joy it did decades ago. So, my New Year’s resolution was to engage in more “useless” programming – coding small, fun projects without any specific end goal in mind. Of all the possible topics, the one that captivated me throughout the year was retrocomputing. I didn’t have a computer until I was 14, but I remember seeing grey 8-bit machines at school or friends' hou..

This is a good read from Steves String. I discovered this blog from a youtube channel called Internet of Bugs. The post completely changes the way we think about productivity and work, especially when your are at the other end of your 30s. The post discusses about how it’s not feasible to work for long hours without any interruption. It’s not just about the physical health, but also about the mental health.

Jest, ESM, and the Meta Tech Conundrum: A Cautionary Tale You know that moment when you’re deep in your TypeScript project, everything’s going smooth, and then you import a simple CSV parsing library? Yeah, that’s when Jest decides to remind you about Facebook’s - sorry, Meta’s - opinions on JavaScript modules. Here’s what happened in my project today: A simple import from csv-parse/lib/sync led me down a rabbit hole of Jest configuration h..

If you’ve ever heard someone claim that Test-Driven Development leads to zero-defects code, congratulations, you’ve encountered one of software development’s most enduring myths. It’s an alluring idea. Write tests first, and your code becomes bulletproof. But like many things in life, the reality is far messier. TDD isn’t a golden ticket to perfection, nor should it be. Here’s why the idea of zero defects is both unrealistic and, in ma....

Idag visade en vän mig Hågadalen. Det är så härligt att ha så vacker natur på promenadavstånd från mitt hem. Vi vandrade dit från hans lägenhet efter att ha druckit lite alkoholfri glögg. Jag tog med fika, och han hade med sig utsökta lunchsmörgåsar.

Charles Dodgson (pen name Lewis Carroll) had difficulty remembering numbers, such as dates. He developed a cipher to help him remember numbers by embedding them in couplets or phrases. For example, the couplet “Brass trumpet and brazen bassoon, will speedily mark you a tune” encodes the specific gravity of brass (8.39) in the last four consonants: r k t n (y is treated as a vowel). In this article, we describe the cipher, present online too....

I read 30 books or 8365 pages in 2024, a solid improvement over last year ’s, and many of those books were excellent. Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov was outstanding, Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations was incredible, and then there’s Family Lexicon and The garden of Finzi-Contini , and many others were close to that league. Yeah, color me satisfied. The usual scoring system applies: One star means a book is meh. Two stars mean a book is p..

A common mistake in system design interviews is to underestimate a low but steady write rate. Many candidates quickly dismiss a write rate of 1 request per second as insignificant, but this isn’t always the case—especially in a startup environment where growth is measured week-over-week. Small write volumes can accumulate significantly over time and cause all sorts of downstream problems. During a major Postgres version upgrade, Retool fou....

I was so intimidated to go at first, but it is in fact easy and fun to start playing beginner volleyball in New York. The people are so friendly and welcoming that it has been easy to keep playing consistently every week since I started for the first time this August. It's been a great workout and a great way to make friends! The two platforms I've used to find volleyball games are Goodrec and New York Urban . While these platforms may....

A while back an update went live that, with some caveats, changes the time it takes for an update on a website to reflect in the search engine index from up to 2 months to 1-2 days. Conditions being if the website has an RSS or Atom feed. The big crawl job takes about two months, and is run partition by partition, meaning there’s typically a slice of the index that is two months stale at any given point in time. To help compensate for thi..
