An idea: a publishing platform for developers like DEV.to with ActivityPub enabled and much more Markdown extensions.

@jonn @yaeunerd So what do you think about signals? Where the dependencies don't need to be declared.

```tsx
useSignalEffect(() => {
// calling `.value` makes this effect run each time signal value changes
const value = signal.value;

// using `.peek()` allows getting signal value without subscribing effect to changes
const anotherValue = anotherSignal.peek();
});

console.log(value, anotherValue);
```

Even better: change in a signal does not necessary mean a render needs to occur.

Am seriously considering designing a new Rust-based VM language.

Hope to find something else to fixate on before there's any progress, otherwise who knows what can happen.

(no actual work, that's what)

Luckily, while I have extensive experience in thinking how a cool new language should work, I've never actually made any. Fingers crossed, I'll give up this time too.

#UK and #France have greenlit the use of storm shadows in #Russia. US overruled it

What is the #USA doing?

I don't think it is frightened of #Russian nukes, nor involvement of Belarus/ Baltics/ escalation, etc

My opinion is it is election year games

Keeping things on a low simmer to prevent anything terrible that could swing the election

But this is a price being paid for in #Ukrainian lives

#Europe: please do what you can, our politics sucks

#Ukraine #UkraineWar

I was deleting photos off my phone and found this image from over six years ago. I don’t remember its source, but the sentiment is as true as ever (especially the pronunciation!).
