By many metrics the new Temporal date-time API is the single biggest change to JS ever π₯
Temporal is now shipping in Firefox, Chrome, & soon in Safari. TS 6.0 contains type declaration support. It's in Deno, close to landing in Node, & supported by the Boa & Kiesel engines.

So happy to have been a part of this! FWIW, my contributions were early on with initial API sketching. Glad to see others taking it over the finish line!
The beginnings were right around the time I did this talk... www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVuo...

You are a person of high integrity and moral character.
Unfortunately, the president of the United States of America is on the exact opposite side of that spectrum.

On Dropouts and Bootstraps
In my early twenties I had a cohort of friends and coworkers, all Silicon Valley engineers, all quite good at their jobs, all college dropouts. We developed a shared conviction that only losers gotβ¦
Once upon a time, I believed that getting a CS degree was highly correlated with being a mediocre engineer; the REAL stars were dropouts and liberal arts majors.

For all the daylight saving time hubbub in the news, I'll remind all that the most important thing is adequate notice of changes. If they're going to make DST permanent, pass the law NOW. If they wait until October, it will be too close to get all the software updated.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didnβt think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.
In 25 years of covering national security, Iβve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained
Fabian Schmidtβs family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.
ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed.
No one knows why he was detained.

I also really like Renovate's `minimumReleaseAge` setting. We set it to 3 days for Go package updates. Keeps us from getting bit by "oops" releases on fast moving projects.

Automated Dependency Updates for Go Modules - Renovate Docs
Renovate documentation.
My team switched to Renovate awhile back. I like it much better than Dependabot, especially for go. We use the `gomodTidy` and `gomodUpdateImportPaths` settings, and it's worked well. docs.renovatebot.com/modules/mana...
