Came here to say the same, I actually like Departure so much I use it as my coding and Terminal font. I'll definitely be trying out the fonts in the original post.

Honest question, how many of the leaks and crashes can be attributed to zig the language vs possibly (maybe, we don't know) a loosey-goosey, slot machine approach to development heavily reliant on AI? Will the inherent leaks and crashes be fixed, purely by dint of porting to Rust?

I created https://github.com/JamieMason/shrinkpack in 2015 to try and help with this problem, by creating an offline mirror of decompressed tarballs from the npm registry that you'd check into your repository.

I thought it might have some merit at the time, but it never really took off as an idea.

I agree, that's a really nice feature of Svelte. It can be done in .astro files from https://astro.build/ too but Svelte is the first place I saw it done, like you say, it's very nice to work that way.

I'm curious what users of Svelte think about https://qwik.dev, have many of you been tempted by it? There are a lot of similarities and both are great at keeping file sizes down with a great DX.

I'm not saying for one moment that it matters but one thing I was really surprised to learn was that lit (16.6kb) is actually larger than preact (11kB). With it taking advantage of Web Standards so well, I expected it would have a big advantage to be much smaller.

The name...

I had a go at doing this in Rust some time ago https://github.com/JamieMason/blurhash-to-css and there is also https://plaiceholder.co/.

I've absolutely loved this series of games ever since I first played them as a kid in the 90s. I didn't think we'd ever see another MI Game with Ron Gilbert involved so for me this is wonderful news, I really can't wait for this to come out.

Is there a safety net? (Honest question from a European)

Are there any competitors out there that can import historical data from Google Analytics? I've not checked, can you even export your historical data from GA?

Kudos, it looks excellent

Using a lockfile and checking in your dependency tarballs [1] can help insulate you from these problems until you're ready to face them.

I created shrinkpack before left-pad and thankfully it meant that we were unaffected.

A lot of developers, understandably, baulk at checking in dependencies, but there is a concrete benefit in being able to continue uninterrupted during outages.

https://github.com/LukasBombach/next-super-performance adds partial hydration to next. I was tempted by this some time ago, but ended up leaving it due to concern about straying too far off-piste from next itself.

I recently heard someone say this, which I thought was interesting:

Technical Debt is the result of a weak definition of done

I was caught out by the 2nd one too, I hit "English" expecting to be taken to the English version of the start of the Tour.

On [public ownership of] our railway, the East Coast line was run in public ownership from 2009 to 2014. It had 91% customer satisfaction and returned £1 billion to the Treasury. (Today, half of our rail services are run by foreign state owned companies.)

Once you have obtained just the Guitar from a track, are there any tools out there which can work out the Tablature (eg. https://www.ultimate-guitar.com//top/tabs) so you can play along?

Slightly off-topic, but I wish JavaScript's import syntax was designed to be this way around, for better autocomplete in your editor.

In 2016, Germany unveiled the Coradia iLint, the world’s first hydrogen-powered train, which can run for 600 miles on a single tank of fuel – on par with the distances that traditional trains achieve on a tank of diesel

The train’s hydrogen power system produces sufficient power to take the train 50 to 75 miles. The train, called Hydroflex, is the UK’s first to be powered by hydrogen

The iLint seems to be much further advanced. In this Industry, what does a Team in the Hydroflex's position normally do next in this position?

I also had problems, mostly around multiple cursors, and found the less popular amvim to be much better. I have not run into any problems with it so far, hopefully this will work for you too

I love the sound of this, do you have a link to any examples?

It would be a shame if this article about specifically DRY created negative sentiment towards the Clean Code Book as a whole – which is full of great advice, not only related to duplication, and a worthwhile read.
